Answer 1

Sensorineural hearing loss is due to damage to the pathway that sound impulses take from the hair cells of the inner ear to the auditory nerve and the brain.


Below are some possible causes.

Age-related hearing loss (presbyacusis). This is the natural decline in hearing that many people experience as they get older. It's partly due to the loss of hair cells in the cochlea.

Acoustic trauma (injury caused by loud noise) can damage hair cells.

Certain viral or bacterial infections such as mumps or meningitis can lead to loss of hair cells or other damage to the auditory nerve.

Ménière's disease, which causes dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss.

Certain drugs, such as some powerful antibiotics, can cause permanent hearing loss. At high doses, aspirin is thought to cause temporary tinnitus - a persistent ringing in the ears. The antimalarial drug quinine can also cause tinnitus, but it's not thought to cause permanent damage.

Acoustic neuroma. This is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour affecting the auditory nerve. It needs to be observed and is sometimes treated with surgery.

Other neurological (affecting the brain or nervous system) conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, or a brain tumour.
.


The treatment of sensorineural loss, other than avoiding the cause and ototoxic drugs, is basically the provision of hearing aids; lip reading, or sign language. . Hearing aids may not work as effectively as predicted because of the loss of discrimination associated with sensorineural loss.


However, , surgery is not an option. The only exception to this rule is in profound hearing loss, where cochlear implantation ( sometimes called bionic ear) may be an option. In this procedure, an electrode array is implanted into the cochlea to allow direct electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve.


In this way, many deafened by meningitis and other causes have become able to hear and adopt near normal lifestyles again
