What is sensorineural hearing damage and how is it diagnosed?

Sensorineural hearing damage is a type of hearing loss caused by damage to the hair cells in the inner ear or the nerves that connect the ear to the brain. This form of hearing loss is typically permanent and can result from various factors, including aging, prolonged exposure to loud noise, or specific medical conditions.

To diagnose sensorineural hearing damage, a comprehensive Hearing Test is essential. At Melody Hearing Clinic, our expert team conducts detailed hearing evaluations, including audiometric and speech testing. These tests help determine the severity and specific characteristics of the hearing loss, allowing our practitioners to recommend appropriate treatment options.
