What is Sensorineural Nerve Hearing Loss?
Alka Yagnik had told in a post in 2024 that she has suffered from sensorineural nerve hearing loss, which has affected her hearing ability. This condition is caused by a viral infection. She said that she was not prepared for this situation and once she was exiting the flight, she suddenly lost her hearing.
Features of sensorineural nerve hearing loss
It is a condition in which a person suddenly loses his hearing ability. This occurs when the inner ear, cochlea, and auditory nerve are affected. When these hair and nerve cells are damaged, they cannot heal on their own. For this it is necessary to consult an ENT specialist. This problem can occur in one or both ears and may develop suddenly or gradually.
Symptoms and Risk Factors
symptoms:
Difficulty in understanding, need to repeat conversations over and over again, need to increase the volume of phone, TV and radio, ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears, fatigue in the ears when listening to songs for a long time.
Who is at risk?
This disease occurs especially in the elderly. People with use of headphones in loud places, a family history of deafness, ear infections or viral infections, head injuries, and diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure are more susceptible to this disease.
Treatment and prevention measures
Sensorineural hearing loss is a permanent problem, which cannot be completely cured, but the condition can be improved with some treatments. With the help of hearing aids, it becomes easier to understand sounds. Cochlear implants are recommended for those who have severely reduced hearing. If hearing loss occurs suddenly, medicines may be given. In addition, speech therapy and auditory rehabilitation are also helpful.
- To protect ears, do not use headphones for a long time.
- Use earplugs in noisy places.
- Keep headphone volume at a safe level.
- The elderly and high-risk individuals should have regular hearing tests.
