However, in most of these cases, your ability to hear high-frequency sounds is what is first affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having mid-frequency or cookie bite hearing loss is quite rare and almost always caused by genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research states that it only accounts for somewhere between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-021-01876-1\">0.7\u20131% of all sensorineural hearing loss cases<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In rare cases, a benign tumor called an acoustic neuroma can also cause mid-frequency hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cookie-bite-hearing-loss-affects-ability-to-understand-speech\">Cookie Bite Hearing Loss Affects Ability To Understand Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mid-frequency hearing loss is usually mild, and it may be hard to tell you even have a problem at first. However, much of human speech falls into the mid-range frequency, so struggling to follow conversations at work or when out with friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/froghollowtavern.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frog Hollow Tavern<\/a> may be your first sign that something is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"diagnosing-mid-frequency-hearing-loss\">Diagnosing Mid-Frequency Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Mid-frequency hearing loss can be easily diagnosed during a <a href=\"https:\/\/augustaent.com\/hearing-balance\/hearing-loss\/hearing-tests\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hearing test.<\/a> If you\u2019ve noticed any problems or others have commented on your hearing, schedule an appointment to be evaluated by an audiologist as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"treatment-options\">Treatment Options<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>While mid-range hearing loss cannot be cured, there are treatment options to manage your condition. Making certain lifestyle adaptations like moving closer to a speaker or making sure you can see a person\u2019s lips move when they talk can help improve your ability to understand what is being said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hearing aids can also be used to amplify mid-frequency sounds and make it easier for you to process what is being said. If your audiologist recommends hearing aids, they will work with you to find a pair that best meets your style and technology preferences as well as your individual hearing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have additional questions or would like to schedule an appointment with one of our experts, call <span class=\"company-name \">Augusta &#8211; Aiken ENT &amp; Allergy<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><ul class=\"related-posts\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/augustaent.com\/how-to-talk-to-your-child-about-hearing-loss-and-deaf-awareness\/\" class=\"related-post\">How to Talk to Your Child About Hearing Loss and Deaf Awareness<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/augustaent.com\/what-to-know-about-ototoxicity\/\" class=\"related-post\">What to Know About Ototoxicity<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/augustaent.com\/why-wearing-hearing-aids-while-alone-is-essential\/\" class=\"related-post\">Why Wearing Hearing Aids While Alone Is Essential<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cookie bite hearing loss is a type of sensorineural hearing loss that affects your ability to hear in the mid-range frequency, between 500-2,000 Hz.
