Unlike conductive hearing loss, which affects the middle ear’s sound transmission, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) affects the inner ear. Tiny hair cells, called cilia, vibrate in response to sound waves, sending signals from the hearing nerve to the brain. Damage to these hair cells, often from aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors, can lead to sensorineural hearing loss. Below we look to explore its causes, available treatments, common symptoms and the often-overlooked aspect of noise-induced hearing loss.
