Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain.
Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of:
Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease)
Immune disease
Infections
Injury
Meniere's disease
Use of certain medicines
Tumor
In some cases, the cause is unknown.
What else can I help you with?
Is sensorineural deafness often improved by a hearing aid?
yes
What are the three basic types of hearing loss?
sensorineural, conductive, and mixed
Is this true that sounds travel to the tympanic membrane by sensorineural conduction?
No, sounds travel to the tympanic membrane through air conduction, not sensorineural conduction. The sensorineural pathway involves the transmission of sound signals from the inner ear to the brain via the auditory nerve, while the tympanic membrane (eardrum) amplifies and transmits sound vibrations from the outer ear to the middle ear.
What is the most common cause of sensorineural deafness?
The most common cause of sensorineural deafness is damage to the hair cells in the inner ear, often due to aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors. This type of hearing loss is permanent and typically irreversible.
Damage to cochlea brain auditory nerve can cause what?
sensorineural hearing loss.
Is presbycusis a gradual loss of sensorineural hearing that occurs as the body ages?
Yes it is!
Loss of hearing resulting from prolonged exposure to high-intensity sounds?
Sensorineural deafness
What is the likely site of damage that leads to sensorineural deafness?
Sensorineural deafness is primarily caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear or to the auditory nerve pathways. This type of damage can result from factors such as exposure to loud noise, aging, genetic predispositions, or infections. Unlike conductive hearing loss, sensorineural deafness affects the ability to process sound signals, leading to difficulties in hearing even when sounds are amplified.
What is the difference conductive deafness and sensorineural deafness?
Conductive Loss - Normal hearing for bone conduction scores ([ & ]), and showing a hearing loss for Air Conduction scores (X &O) Sensorineural Loss- Hearing loss (equally) for both air and bone conduction
What is sensorineural deafness?
Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain. Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of: Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease) Immune disease Infections Injury Meniere's disease Multiple sclerosis Use of certain medicines Tumor In some cases, the cause is unknown.
A sensorineural hearing loss is most often associated with loss of hearing sensitivity in which of the frequency ranges?
high frequency sounds
The death of hair cells by continued exposure of high amplitude sound of a single frequency such as a jet engine is?
sensorineural deafness
