What is the auditory neuropathy?
Auditory neuropathy is a hearing disorder in which sound enters the inner ear normally but the transmission of signals from the inner ear to the brain is impaired. It can affect people of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. The number of people affected by auditory neuropathy is not known, but the condition affects a relatively small percentage of people who are deaf or hearing-impaired.
People with auditory neuropathy may have normal hearing, or hearing loss ranging from mild to severe; they always have poor speech-perception abilities, meaning they have trouble understanding speech clearly. Often, speech perception is worse than would be predicted by the degree of hearing loss. For example, a person with auditory neuropathy may be able to hear sounds, but would still have difficulty recognizing spoken words. Sounds may fade in and out for these individuals and seem out of sync.

Where does neuropathy come from?
Despite the fact that this is posted in the dermatorlogy section and that the sensation (burning pain, heaviness, cold, pins/needles, etc) can be felt in the skin, this is not a skin problem. Neuropathy is a nerve issue, generally the peripheral nerves such as those that lead to the arms, wrists or hands/legs, shins or feet. The causes are numerous and can include diabetes (very common) arthritis, injury, contraindications (bad reactions) to medication, vitamin deficiency or excess, or even heavy metal poisoning. This is not something to treat over the internet, and should be addressed by a board certified neurologist or pain management specialist. Neuropathy can often be treated by mediations containing anti-convulsants (anti-seizure medication) to slow down the excitable neurons. There are also many physical therapy techniques that can reduce the annoying and/or painful symptoms. Take away message: neuropathy is not a normal part of aging and is something that should be examined by a doctor and treated as soon as possible. Its course can often be reversed, but can become permanent if not addressed.

Can you get neuropathy from a fall?
Neuropathy can cause loss of protective sensation (LOPS) resulting in decreased sensation in the bottom of the feet. As foot sensation is one of our primary balance mechanisms, it is conceivable an individual may posture themselves close to the limit of their stability and not recognize their position. A slight further off-balancing can then result in a seemingly sudden fall. As many individuals with neuropathy may have restricted the speed of activity for some time attempting to prevent a fall, they may find their ability to recover from a significant loss of balance restricted by low functioning muscles and balance organs.
Did you have something taken at the time it will probably take time to get stronger you take something like that you walk this will help alot good exercise will help plus ask if you can have a machine that you can blow into it and it will move the ball it will help.
