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.
yes
Yes the result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve is sensorineural deafness. The result from the fusion of the ossicles is conduction deafness.
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
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.
sensorineural deafness
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.

One test used to determine conduction deafness is Weber's Test. A fork is vibrated against the forehead and should be heard equally in both ears. If it is heard best in the 'good' ear than it is sensorineural deafness but if it is heard best in the 'bad' ear then this is what determines the conduction deafness.

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with sensorineural hearing loss or alone.
