Low frequency hearing loss, affecting sounds below 500 Hz, impacts communication and daily life, with approximately 15% of hearing impairment cases involving this condition. Causes include inner ear disorders like Meniere’s disease and cochlear hydrops, genetic mutations (e.g., Connexin 26 gene), and environmental factors such as noise exposure, trauma, or ototoxic medications. Diagnosis relies on tests like pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) to assess hearing thresholds and inner/middle ear function. Treatment options range from medications/surgery for underlying causes to customized hearing aids that amplify low frequencies. Management strategies include lifestyle adjustments (e.g., communication techniques, environmental modifications) and rehabilitative therapies (auditory training, speech therapy) to enhance quality of life. Ongoing research aims to improve diagnostic tools and treatment technologies for this complex condition.
