sensorineuraalisesta

Sensorineuraalinen is a Finnish term that describes a type of hearing loss. It refers to damage to the inner ear, specifically the cochlea or the auditory nerve. This type of hearing loss is often permanent and cannot be corrected with surgery or conventional hearing aids, although hearing aids can amplify sounds to make them more audible. Sensorineural hearing loss can result from a variety of causes, including aging (presbycusis), exposure to loud noise, certain medications, genetic factors, and certain medical conditions like Meniere's disease or infections. Symptoms can include difficulty understanding speech, especially in noisy environments, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Diagnosis typically involves a hearing test conducted by an audiologist. Treatment options focus on managing the hearing loss and improving communication, which may include hearing aids, cochlear implants for severe to profound losses, and auditory rehabilitation.
