What is sensorineural hearing loss? Can it be healed?

Definition: Sensorineural hearing loss is defined as any lesion affecting the cochlea, auditory nerve, and central body.

Drugs**: In the early application of drugs**, it has been reported that 20% of patients can recover hearing with early medication. If the medical history is more than 2 years, medication is ineffective, and congenital **tone neural deafness does not need medication.

The main use of sensorineural deafness is nutritional neurological drugs, coenzyme A, cytochrome C, ATP, cell growth peptides, vasodilator drugs, vitamin B group, vitamin C, etc., all of which play a certain role in the recovery of hearing in such patients.

Surgery**: Surgery** has two concepts, one is to do surgery to place a cochlear implant and let it listen to acoustic language; In addition, the hematoma and temporal bone fracture caused by craniocerebral trauma compress the auditory nerve, which causes sensorineural deafness, and it is also necessary to completely remove the lesion through surgery, so that the auditory nerve is not compressed, and the auditory nerve can be broken and the auditory nerve can be anatomized to restore hearing.

Hearing aids are the most effective and successful way to compensate for hearing: Hearing aids are the most effective and successful way to treat deaf people and deaf children with sensorineural deafness.

Sensorineural deafness is a hearing loss caused by inner ear and auditory neuropathy, there is no good way to do so, it is recommended to wear hearing aids in time to compensate for hearing and improve the ability to listen and communicate.

Due to the damage to the cochlear spiral hair cells, auditory nerves, auditory pathways, or various neurons, the perception of sound and the transmission of nerve impulses are impaired"Sensory or neural hearing loss"。

High-frequency hearing loss: It often occurs in patients with sensorineural hearing loss, and it is difficult for patients to hear high-frequency consonants such as c, s, x, q, j, etc.

Poor speech comprehension: They often feel that others are speaking slurred.

Revitalization: Patients with neural hearing loss with snail sounds have revitalization. They may not be able to hear a moderate intensity, but if the intensity increases a little more, they find it unbearable. Sensorineural hearing loss due to damage to the auditory nerve does not rejuvenate.

Tinnitus: Tinnitus is common in patients with sensorineural hearing loss, which often precedes deafness. Tinnitus is a high-pitched sound, often unilateral, sometimes both but only the heavier side is noticed.

Hearing aids often reduce or eliminate tinnitus, but hearing aids are not effective for central tinnitus and objective tinnitus.

Vertigo: Delusions due to vestibular lesions in the inner ear. During an episode of vertigo, the patient often feels that the surrounding scenery is rotating, and dizziness without a sense of rotation is not vertigo.

Vertigo can be caused by any lesion that can cause unilateral vestibular hypofunction, such as infection or trauma. Vertigo is one of the common symptoms of Meniere's disease. Central lesions such as acoustic neuroma and multiple sclerosis can also cause vertigo.

Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by congenital hypoplasia of the inner ear, or it can occur due to a lack of sound perception in the cochlea of the inner ear due to drugs, diseases, or trauma. Specific factors include:

Maternal infection and poisoning during embryonic development, perinatal and delivery can cause congenital deafness in offspring;

Many drugs or chemical agents that are ototoxic can cause toxic damage to the cochlea and vestibule, causing deafness and vestibular dysfunction;

Viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc., can directly or indirectly cause inner ear lesions;

aging of the auditory system;

Inner Ear Immunity and Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease;

systemic diseases such as hypothyroidism and diabetes;

trauma such as head or surgery;

Sudden onset of sensorineural hearing loss of unknown origin.

The best principles of sensorineural hearing loss are to restore or partially restore the lost hearing, and to preserve and use the residual hearing as much as possible, such as the use of hearing aids. To date, there is no one that is simple and effective and can be applied to all situations. The specific measures depend on the specific situation of the patient, please go to the ENT department of a regular hospital to consult a specialist and cooperate with the doctor**.

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by impaired perception of sound and conduction of nerve impulses. Sensorineural deafness is generally not very effective, so in the case of neural deafness, patients must actively cooperate and adjust their mentality to achieve the best effect.

Toxic deafness caused by continuous use of antibiotics such as streptomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, etc. after the disease.

Sudden deafness caused by a viral infection or embolism of the inner ear vessels.

Infectious deafness caused by infectious diseases such as meningitis, measles, typhoid, etc.

Detonation deafness caused by trauma or knocking, noise, etc.

Neural hearing loss is a complex condition of deafness. Neural deafness is more difficult than deafness disorders of a general nature**. Because it is not only a problem inside the ear, but also very likely related to the patient's psychological factors.

Therefore, if the patient does not have a positive attitude, then even if the physiological disease has been completely resolved, the patient may still feel his tinnitus. Although the symptoms are better than not being able to hear before, it is still a heart disease. Therefore, in the case of neural deafness, the patient must actively cooperate and adjust his mentality to achieve the best effect.

Refers to lesions in areas such as the cochlea, auditory nerve, or auditory center, causing hearing loss that causes dysfunction to sound sensation and cognition. There is no good way, and it is recommended to wear hearing aids as soon as possible.

If the auditory nerve is damaged, there is generally no way to treat it, but it can only play a role in relief.

The inner ear auditory hair cell is a kind of nerve cell, whether it is the auditory cell or the auditory nerve as long as it is damaged, it is difficult to recover after a period of time of degeneration and necrosis. At present, various basic studies and experiments do not have enough evidence to explain the long-term relationship between human hearing cells and auditory nerves.

It can be repaired and regenerated after damage, and practice has also proved that sensorineural hearing loss for a long time is ineffective regardless of drugs, surgery, acupuncture, qigong, etc.**.

You can take the elderly to try hearing aids and see how they work.

At present, there is no special medicine for neural deafness, which can only be equipped with hearing aids, which can delay hearing loss and improve the quality of life.

Neural hearing loss is difficult**, the best way is to improve hearing by wearing hearing aids, you can take your grandfather to a professional hearing aid fitting center to choose the right hearing aid for him according to his hearing condition!

If there is no improvement after a period of time, then you can consider a professional fitting center with hearing aids, and if the hearing loss is too severe, you can also consider doing cochlear implants. Anyway, it is necessary to intervene in time and not for a long time.

The lesion is located in the hair cells of the spiral, the auditory nerve or the auditory center at all levels, and the perception of sound and the conduction of nerve impulses are impaired, and the hearing loss caused by it is sensorineural hearing loss. Among them, those caused by hair cell lesions are called sensory hearing loss (cochlear hearing loss or terminal organ hearing loss), and those with lesions located in the auditory nerve and its conduction pathway are called neural (postcochlear hearing loss or posterior hearing loss), which is characterized by a significant decrease in the rate of speech discrimination. Lesions that occur in the hearing center of the cerebral cortex are called central hearing loss and are often accompanied by transnervous system symptoms.

Due to the irreversibility of the damaged parts and organ lesions of sensorineural deafness, there is currently no specific method to cure it.

At present, there is no way to do neurological deafness, because the cochlear hair cells have been damaged, there is no way to recover, see what degree of hearing loss it is, moderate and severe can wear hearing aids to improve the listening effect.

The current medical level of sensorineural deafness is not possible, and only hearing aids are available to protect residual hearing.

It is difficult to preserve the existing hearing only through a good routine and wearing hearing aids.

In terms of medicine, there is currently no effective means, and in order to delay the further decline of hearing from the hearing impaired, the best way is to use hearing aids such as hearing aids as soon as possible.

There is currently no way to hear the ear, and if you have hearing loss, you can only wear hearing aids or cochlear implants to help you hear better.

At present, there is no way**, you can wear hearing aids, otherwise you will be more and more unable to hear.

There is no effective way to do this.

Take care of your ear routine!

You'll have unexpected consequences!

If hearing aids are used, it is recommended to use an ear dehumidification ventilator.

Take good care of your hearing aids and ears.

It is almost impossible to achieve sensorineural deafness through medical means, and it is necessary to improve it through language training to achieve the desired effect.
