Rapid Review Pathology Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is caused by damage to these special cells, or to the nerve fibers in the inner ear. Sometimes, the hearing loss is caused by damage to the nerve that carries the signals to the brain. Sensorineural deafness that is present at birth (congenital) is most often due to: Genetic syndromes.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss Sensorineural hearing loss is due to damage to the sensory hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear, preventing nerve cells from sending complete signals to the brain. Causes Causes of sensorineural hearing loss include: Congenital/Hereditary – Many sufferers are born with sensorineural hearing loss or are predisposed to the condition through genetics. Congenital causes can include lack of cochlear development and congenital rubella syndrome.

Types of hearing loss Causes. Repeated exposure to loud noise or sounds might be putting you at risk for sensorineural hearing loss! If a child is born with sensorineural hearing loss, it is most likely due to a genetic syndrome or an infection passed from mother to fetus inside the womb, such as toxoplasmosis, rubella or herpes. When sensorineural hearing loss develops later in life, it can be caused by a wide variety of triggers, including: 1  Deterioration caused by age (presbycusis). 2  Blood vessel diseases. 3  Auto-immune diseases.

Developmental psychology Alternatively, acquired deafness may be due to damage to the ear due to noise or from other conditions. Congenital deafness may or may not be genetic. In non-genetic causes, congenital deafness may be due to a condition or infection to which the mother was exposed during pregnancy, such as the rubella virus. Alternatively, congenital hearing loss may be associated with certain other characteristic findings.

Genes and Hearing Loss Researchers have identified several of the various genes responsible for hereditary deafness or hearing loss, most notably the GJB2 gene mutation. As one of the most common genetic causes of hearing loss, GJB2-related hearing loss is considered a recessive genetic disorder because the mutations only cause deafness in individuals who inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent. A person with one mutated copy and one normal copy is a carrier but is not deaf.
