Auditory neuropathy is a hearing disorder in which the inner ear successfully detects sound, but has a problem with sending sound from the ear to the brain. It can affect people of all ages, from infancy through adulthood.
Damage to the inner ear. Aging and loud noise can cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the cochlea that send sound signals to the brain. Damaged or missing hairs or nerve cells don't send electrical signals well. This causes hearing loss. Higher pitched tones may seem muffled.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is caused by damage to the structures in your inner ear or your auditory nerve. It is the cause of more than 90% of hearing loss in adults. Common causes of...
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results from damage to cells or nerve fibers in the inner ear. It affects the auditory nerve, which carries sound signals to the brain. It can appear over...
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing loss in which the root cause lies in the inner ear, sensory organ (cochlea and associated structures), or the vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve VIII). SNHL accounts for about 90% of reported hearing loss.
Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD) is a rare hearing condition caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve disrupting the signal between the ear and the brain. Although sound can be heard by those with this condition, spoken words may not be understandable. While there is no cure, some cases may improve on their own.
Hearing loss affects people of all ages and can be caused by many different factors. The three basic categories of hearing loss are sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss and mixed hearing loss. Here is what patients should know about each type.

What it is. Hearing loss can happen when any part of the ear — outer, middle or inner — isn’t working as it should. Sensorineural hearing loss generally occurs when there is a problem with the inner ear. That’s where a snail-shaped organ called the cochlea resides.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common form of hearing loss, often caused by natural aging or noise exposure. Get help now!
