Re: Neurosensory Hearing Loss Question

[Guest guest]

HI - both my sons have sensorineural hearing loss - the loss

involves problems to the cochlea or the nerve endings in the cochlea.

Many other parents here have children with sensorineural hearing loss

(sometimes you'll see it abbreviated as SNHL). My boys both wear

hearing aids. There are other types of hearing loss as well. The

Listen-up website is the BIBLE for all things hearing loss related - and

it's actually written in plain English! There's a great section on the

basics here:

http://listen-up.org/basics.htm

That should help a bunch.

I think thats a very common type of loss. Otherwise it would have to be a

" structural " problem. I think. =)

Ok, nevermind what I just said. I was thinking sensorineural.
