Neural hearing impairment refers to a type of hearing loss that occurs due to damage or dysfunction in the auditory nerve or the central auditory pathways in the brain.

This condition can result in difficulties with sound clarity and understanding speech, even when hearing thresholds are normal. It may be associated with various conditions, including auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD).
What is postlingual hearing impairment?
Postlingual hearing impairment refers to hearing loss that occurred after language was developed. This is especially important in children during their formative years when their speech and language skills are developing. The basic building blocks for learning, reading, spelling are borne from good listening, auditory memory, and auditory discrimination and if there is hearing loss the old adage - junk in, junk out - prevails. The methods to teach the postlingually deaf are much different than the methods to teach the prelingually deaf. Postlingual hearing loss is also more common and the listener often does not notice the loss as much as those around him or her.
