Possible causes include: age-related hearing loss - the decline in hearing that many people experience as they get older acoustic trauma (injury caused by loud noise) to the hair cells viral infections of the inner ear (may be caused by viruses such as mumps or measles) Ménière's disease (abnormal pressure in the inner ear) certain drugs, such as aspirin, quinine and some antibiotics, which can affect the hair cells acoustic neuroma, a benign (non-cancerous) tumour affecting the auditory nerve viral infections of the auditory nerve (such as mumps and rubella) infections or inflammation of the brain or brain covering - eg meningitis multiple sclerosis a brain tumour a stroke Sensorineural hearing loss is due to damage to the pathway for sound impulses from the hair cells of the inner ear to the auditory nerve and the brain.

They both wear hearing aids. It is kind of a misnomer (named wrong) because it isn't acutally a loss, they never had it to begin with. Most likely something they were born with, something in their ears never developed correctly. I have 2 children w/ Sensorineural hearing loss. They both wear hearing aids.
