Dentro del término general de discapacidad auditiva se suele distinguir entre tres trastornos [...] Hipoacusia: cuando la audición es deficiente, pero permanece cierta capacidad que es útil para la percepción del lenguaje oral y de los sonidos ambientales. Sordera: existe una audición residual imperceptible, que imposibilita la percepción del lenguaje oral y de los sonidos ambientales. Cofosis o anacusia: es una ausencia total de audición. Es un problema muy poco frecuente, ya que incluso en las sorderas profundas se mantienen unos mínimos restos auditivos. 3, record 1, Spanish, - sordera
