Profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a significant impairment in children’s hearing, affecting their development and communication skills. It originates from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, disrupting sound signal transmission to the brain. Causes include genetic factors, congenital infections, prematurity, low birth weight, ototoxic medications, head trauma, meningitis, and noise exposure. Symptoms include a lack of startle response to loud noises, delayed speech and language development, difficulty understanding spoken language, reliance on visual cues, difficulty following directions, social isolation, and academic struggles. Diagnosis involves a comprehensive audiological evaluation, including behavioral hearing tests and genetic testing.
Cochlear implant surgery is a procedure that can significantly improve hearing in children with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Cochlear implants are electronic devices that bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and stimulate the auditory nerve, providing a different hearing sensation. Early intervention with cochlear implants can support speech and language development, educational progress, and overall quality of life. A team of specialists evaluates a child’s hearing, development, and overall health to determine a suitable candidate.
