Research Notes on Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Unilateral hearing loss occurs when there is hearing loss in one ear and normal hearing in the opposite ear. Sensorineural refers to hearing loss experienced due to a damaged cochlea (inner ear) and/or auditory nerve. A person with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss may have damage at the auditory nerve and/or brain stem level due to a temporal bone fracture.1
Fast Facts:
- One of three main types of hearing loss.2
- Unilateral sensorineural hearing loss is permanent hearing loss in the affected ear.2
- A person experiencing unilateral sensorineural hearing loss typically has a difficult time hearing very low sounds in the affected ear and this may directly affect understanding of certain speech sounds.2
