Sensorineural hearing loss is one of many types of hearing loss. It occurs due to damage to the inner ear (cochlea), or the nerves that connect the inner ear to the brain.
A number of factors can lead to sensorineural hearing loss. They include drugs, aging, head injuries, certain illnesses, exposure to loud noise or genetic defects.
Sensorineural hearing loss causes loud sounds to be muffled or unclear. Faint sounds can be difficult to hear at all.
Hearing aids can help people with sensorineural hearing loss. In some cases, surgery can restore some of a person’s hearing.
