Of the different types of hearing loss, sensor neural loss is one involving the inner ear, part of the brain or the nerve of the ear. This defect can be congenital or acquired. An accident or some other problem may cause it congenital type of sensor neural hearing loss is incurable and normal hearing cannot be restored. A trial can be made to hear with the help of hearing aids that amplify sounds. Cochlear implants too can be tried to help people hear clearly as they stimulate the cochlear nerve directly making it possible for the person to hear.
A Big word
Sensor neural is a large word but this is after all, a type of hearing loss. The word, as it is not properly understood by many. The other types of hearing loss emanate from the problems of the middle or outer ear or the tympanic membrane. In the case of sensor neural hearing loss it is for other reasons a detailed in the previous section. Sensor neural loss can be tested for detection unlike conductive hearing loss. As sensor neural loss can be treated with implants and hearing aids, those affected with this loss can lead almost normal lives.
Hearing Loss Not Understood
It is very sand and pathetic to note that many people do not realize the significance of hearing loss, sensor neural or conductive, and their effect on the lives of people suffering form them. People who meet those suffering from sensor neural hearing loss often speak loudly or slowly or point to things or write down things or try other things to make that person understand things that they want to say. Those with hearing aids or cochlear implants, however, do not require this kind of help. They can be addressed normally, and if they want special help, they will let others know. Not to forget this will not put many into embarrassment.
