Definition of bilateral hearing loss. A bilateral hearing loss is a hearing loss in both ears. The bilateral hearing loss may be caused by factors in the outer, middle or inner ear or a combination of these areas. The symptoms of a bilateral hearing loss are reduced hearing in both ears. A bilateral hearing loss can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
A sensorineural hearing loss is one caused by dysfunction of the inner ear, the cochlea, the nerve that transmits the impulses from the cochlea to the hearing centre in the brain or damage in the brain. The most common reason for sensorineural hearing loss is damage to the hair cells in the cochlea.
