    A sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by the failure of nervous impulses to reach the brain. This permanent hearing loss can be caused by damaged nervous cells of the cochlea or difficulties with the upper auditory pathways. This condition is not medically or surgically treatable, in most cases hearing aids and assistive listening devices are used to adapt to the hearing difficulties caused by a sensorineural hearing loss.
