==Causes==
* Disease of the blood vessels
* Immune disease
* Infections, such as [[meningitis]], [[mumps]], [[scarlet fever]], and [[measles]]
* [[Injury]] to the inner ear or nerve
* [[Meniere disease]]
* [[Tumor]], such as [[acoustic neuroma]]
* Use of certain medications
* Exposure to [[loud noise]]s frequently
==Risk factors==
Common risk factors include Occupational or recreational noises, especially if loud.
Other risk factors include:
* Aging
* Heredity
* Certain medication
* Infections
==Signs and symptoms==
* Reduced or loss of hearing
* Difficulty understanding speech
* Sudden or steady loss of hearing
* Stuffy sensation in the ear
* Ringing in the ear
* Dizziness
==Diagnosis==
* The diagnosis of a sensorineural pattern hearing loss is usually made through [[audiometry]].
* The audiometry shows a significant hearing loss without the [[air-bone gap]] seen in [[conductive hearing loss]].
* Imaging studies such as [[CT scan]] and or [[MRI]] scan to rule out tumors etc.
==Treatment==
Treatment depends on the cause and severity and may involve some of the following:
* Hearing aids - limited value in true sensorineural hearing loss
* Cochlear or brainstem implants
* Other assistive devices
Supportive treatments include:
* [[vitamins]] and [[antioxidants]]
* [[vasodilators]]
* betahistine ([[Betaserc]]) (anti-vertigo drug)
* [[hyperbaric oxygen]]
* rheologic agents such as [[hydroxyethyl starch]], [[dextran]] and [[pentoxifylline]]
* [[anti-inflammatory agents]]
* [[corticosteroids]]
* intratympanic administration of certain medicine
==Prevention==
Reducing exposure to loud sounds etc.
==Prognosis==
Prognosis is guarded
