Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Permanent hearing loss occurs when inner ear nerves become damaged and do not properly transmit their signals to the brain. Those who suffer from this condition may complain that people seem to mumble or that they hear, but do not understand, what is being said. The aging process is a very common cause of sensorineural hearing loss. As we get older, the inner ear nerves and sensory cells gradually die.
Deafness can increase until it is almost impossible to hear any sound, but it has been found that most deaf persons can hear at least one sound. If a person is totally deaf, he cannot hear a thing including his own voice. Some people are born deaf, and some lose their hearing from disease or other causes. Most hearing problems are caused by diseases that do not necessarily start in the ear but reach it from some other part of the body.
