Hearing impairment occur not only external, middle and inner ear diseases, but also auditory pathways and brain centers. Diagnosis is based on otorinolaryngological examination supplemented by a wide range of audiological methods. The options for medication and surgical intervention are limited. If they can not be used or are ineffective, the hearing loss can be corrected by a rich portfolio of hearing aids, bone conduction aids and cochlear implants. Prescription of hearing aids is treated legislatively.

Keywords: hearing loss, audiology, hearing aid, cochlear implant.
