We only work with the most advanced hearing devices that complement your lifestyle while also being discreet. These same devices have also helped many patients cope with diagnosed Meniere’s disease.

 

What is sensorineural hearing loss?

Inside our inner ears, tiny hairs are found that detect frequencies, then our hearing nerve transmits that sound directly to the brain. If there is any damage to the inner hair cells either caused by the process of getting older, abnormal sound waves, a car accident or sudden inner ear infections, it can lead to sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss symptoms can be experienced in one ear or both ears, depending on the individual’s experiences they have gone through. Although it is possible to be born with sensorineural hearing loss, it is much more likely to develop the condition as you get older.

 

What can cause sudden sensorineural hearing loss?

Sensorineural hearing loss can develop due to several factors which may include:

  • Head trauma, concussion or severe impact to the head
  • Complications during birth or pregnancy
  • Complications from certain drugs or prescription medications
  • Exposure to loud sound over time
  • Presbycusis, age-related hearing loss
  • Most common: Inner ear infection causing damage to the sensory system

 

What are some symptoms of sensorineural hearing loss?

Generally, hearing loss develops overtime at a gradual pace. If you or a loved one is experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is imperative that you book your free hearing evaluation with us today:
Sudden Sensory loss happens overnight. Many express the scary sensation of complete deafness in one ear. As soon as this happens, book a hearing evaluation with your closest hearing practitioner the same day.

If you or a loved one is experiencing any of the following symptoms, it is imperative that you book your free hearing evaluation with us today:

  • A hard time understanding phone conversations
  • Unable to identify high pitch sounds

Can sensorineural hearing loss be corrected?

Sudden Sensory Hearing Loss CAN BE CORRECTED. However due to misinformation, patients are unaware that they only have 72 hours to seek immediate hospital treatment. If this window is lost, the recovery rate is drastically reduced. If this window is missed and treatment is unsuccessful, hearing aids have proven to help these patients suffering. If this is the case, there are plenty of options to help.
