Congenital sensory loss refers to a condition where an individual is born with reduced or absent ability to perceive sensory stimuli, such as sight, hearing, or touch. This can result from genetic factors, developmental issues during pregnancy, or complications during birth. The effects of congenital sensory loss can vary widely, impacting communication, learning, and daily functioning. Early intervention and support can help individuals adapt and thrive despite these challenges.
congenital sensory loss is when the person has the sensory loss from birth where as acquired sensory loss is when the sensory loss has developed as is the result result of ageing, serious injury or illness.
Congenital sensory loss is something that is present at birth. More than half of all people experience this due to genetic factors and this may be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked.

Congenital sensory loss can impact communication by hindering the development of language and social skills from early childhood. Acquired sensory loss can disrupt communication by affecting an individual's ability to perceive verbal and nonverbal cues from others, leading to difficulties in expressing thoughts and understanding others. Both types of sensory loss may require alternative communication methods to be implemented for effective interaction.
The main causes of sensory loss include nerve damage (neuropathy), aging (presbycusis and presbyopia), traumatic injury, infections (like meningitis), exposure to toxins or medications, and chronic conditions like diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Each of these factors can affect the function of sensory organs such as the eyes, ears, skin, or nerves, leading to impaired sensory perception.
