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.
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.
