Sensorineural Hearing Loss Explained
Much of your hearing is controlled by miniature
nerve endings in your inner ear. If these nerve
endings (or other parts of the inner ear) are
harmed, the result is often sensorineural hearing
impairment.
Sensorineural hearing loss typically does not result
in complete deafness. Actually, in many instances
only certain sounds become hard to hear. You
might notice that some types of sounds are much less distinct, while others are too
loud for comfort. Noisy conditions may make it tough for you to single out speech
patterns. Men’s voices frequently sound clearer than higher-pitched women’s voices
and tracking conversations with multiple speakers is especially challenging. Some
other symptoms of sensorineural hearing loss are feelings of dizziness or tinnitus
(ringing in the ears).
Sensorineural deafness can be caused by a number of factors. Sometimes this form
of hearing loss exists since birth. Congenital sensorineural hearing loss can be caused
by genetic syndromes, as well as by infections that can pass from mother to infant..
The reasons for sensorineural deafness later in life are much more varied. Exposure
to an extremely loud noise – also known as acoustic trauma – is one possible reason.
Consistent exposure to lower level noise, such as working with noisy equipment or
listening to loud music, can also lead to inner ear damage.
Many people don’t realize that a virus can lead to sudden, sensorineural hearing loss.
Viruses such as measles, meningitis and mumps can all lead to this issue. Equally
problematic is Meniere’s Disease, which can lead to fluctuating hearing loss as well as
vertigo and tinnitus. In both cases, corticosteroids may be able to provide relief.

Tumors can cause sensorineural hearing loss as can head traumas and rapid changes
in air pressure. A hereditary disorder known as otosclerosis can cause a bony growth
to form around an important bone in the middle ear, leading to this type of hearing
loss.
While sensorineural hearing loss can have a profoundly negative impact on your
quality of life, there are treatment options available.
