What Is Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Sensorineural hearing loss is one of the most common types of permanent hearing impairment. It occurs when the inner ear or auditory nerve is damaged, reducing the ear's ability to send sound signals to the brain. At JSL Hearing in Miramar Beach, FL, we help patients understand how sensorineural nerve hearing loss can impact everyday communication and quality of life. This type of hearing loss often develops gradually with age or after long-term noise exposure, but it can also occur suddenly, known as sudden sensorineural hearing loss, which requires immediate medical attention.
How Is Sensorineural Hearing Loss Treated?
While sensorineural hearing loss cannot usually be reversed, it can be managed with the right treatment plan. At JSL Hearing, we provide education on treatment options that may include hearing aids designed to improve clarity and reduce the effort required to hear. For those experiencing sudden sensorineural hearing loss, immediate medical care is essential, and medication to reduce inflammation may be used. Our team works with patients to explain the available solutions and help them find the best approach for their hearing needs and lifestyle.
What Are the Symptoms of Sensorineural Hearing Loss?
Sensorineural hearing loss can show up in different ways. Common symptoms include:
- Difficulty hearing or understanding speech, especially in background noise
- Sounds that seem muffled or unclear
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- A sudden decrease in hearing in one or both ears
- A feeling that people are mumbling or not speaking clearly
