Deafness or total deafness?
Deafness is a complete hearing loss in one or both ears. At Clinicaudio, we help you understand what it means and what options are available.
What is cophosis?
Deafness (also known as anacusis), also known as profound or total deafness, is a complete loss of hearing in one or both ears. In these cases, the person cannot perceive any sound, even the loudest ones. It can be present from birth or develop throughout life for various reasons.
Common causes of deafness
The most common causes include congenital ear defects, serious infections, trauma, exposure to extreme noise, ototoxic drugs (medicines that damage the ear), or degenerative diseases. In some cases, deafness appears suddenly and without apparent cause.
Have you been diagnosed with total hearing loss?
At Clinicaudio, we can help you understand the origin and explore possible solutions tailored to your case.
How is deafness diagnosed?
Diagnosis is made through specific audiological tests, such as audiometry and impedance testing, which confirm the complete absence of hearing response. These tests are quick, painless, and essential for determining the exact degree of hearing loss.
What is the difference between deafness and hearing loss?
Unlike hearing loss, which can be mild, moderate, or severe, deafness involves total hearing loss. In other words, there is no sound perception. Therefore, the therapeutic approach in these cases is usually different and more specialized.
At Clinicaudio, we perform comprehensive hearing evaluations to distinguish between different types and degrees of hearing loss.
What solutions exist for deafness?
Although it's not always possible to restore natural hearing, there are technological solutions such as cochlear implants, cros/bicros systems, or bone conduction hearing aids. The appropriate solution will depend on whether the hearing loss is unilateral or bilateral. All factors will always be considered, such as age, inner ear condition, and medical history.

Receiving a diagnosis of deafness can raise many questions. At Clinicaudio, we perform a comprehensive hearing exam using state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to accurately identify the type and degree of hearing loss.
