What are the causes of Sensorineural hearing loss?

A couple years ago i went and got this test done that checked for nerve damage in my ears. They found nerve damage in my left ear. My mom notice something was wrong when i was a baby. But they didn’t know all of this. I have deafness. It is mild to moderate hearing loss, 40 to 50 db loss. db=decibels.

brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test – can diagnose hearing ability and can indicate the presence of brain stem tumors and multiple sclerosis. Electrodes are placed on the scalp and earlobes. Auditory stimuli, such as clicking noises and tones, are delivered to one ear.

That is the testing i had done.
I wear a hearing aid for my left ear.
Also i am 21 years old.
I also have mild mental retardation,deafness,communication disorder,adhd,sensory issues.

How long does hearing loss last after a concert?

I went to see Tim McGraw last night. I expected loud music of course but not this kind of loss. It took over a week for my hearing to return to normal after Kenny Chesney! I wished I had taken ear plugs.

I’m used to the muffling sound and the ears ringing. What bothers me is the pitch or tone that I can’t hear this morning. The phone even sounds "squeaky" if that makes sense. When do you go to the doctor?

How long does it take for an ear infection to cause permanent hearing loss in my 6 month old?

It has been over a month that my 6 month old baby has had an ear infection. The doctor gave her antibotics for 5 days which did not work. She was then given Moxifloxacin and it did not help. My baby picks, and pulls at her ears and does not sleep like she used to before the infection. How long does it take for an ear infection to cause permanent hearing loss? Thank you for anyone that can help. I am worried about her losing her hearing.

How do you deal with hearing loss?

I am 32 years old and have been told last week that I have hearing loss in both ears and that the one is much worse. There is a good chance I wont get any improvement on this in fact its probably going to only get worse. How do I deal with loosing my hearing at such an early age? Its driving me nuts already to keep making people repeat themselves. Im depressed and hurt and just dont know how to deal with the thought I might loose my hearing alltogether.

I am looking to start in a nursing program this Fall. Could moderate hearing loss disqualify me?

I just went to the doctor and they said I have moderate hearing loss in both ears. They also say I may need a hearing aid in one ear. They didn’t seem concerned about disqualification from nursing, but I was rejected from the Border Patrol and struggled with the the Philadelphia Police Department over it. I just don’t want to lose yet another opportunity for something that is not debilitating in any way to me.

Hearing loss?

Guys today I was in my friend’s infinity i30, and some girls in there too. I was in back seat and they turned up the music to full volume. It was really loud but it wasnt like hurting my ears. Although we had to talk louder to hear each other. I was in there for about 10 min, did I get hearing loss?
lol thanks guys but the reason I was worred is that I DID hear some VERY faint tinnitus in my right ear but only for like 7 seconds after I got out of the car.

Also, I couldn’t hear what my friends were saying for a little while, this is why I’m worried :(
I know but I told them to turn it down but they wouldn’t. It’s not like I had control of the situation…
