Everyone has been hoping for the well-known singer from the 1990s to recover quickly ever since it was revealed that she is afflicted with this illness. She suffers from a rare illness called Rare Sensory Hearing Loss, which may affect anybody.
Ever since Alka Yagnik made this revelation, the topic of hearing loss has come up everywhere. Everybody is attempting to learn more about this illness. Dr. Priyanka Sehrawat has provided a thorough explanation of this unusual sensory hearing loss. Let’s discover,
What is Sensory Neural Nerve Hearing Loss?
The disorder known as Sensory Neural Nerve Hearing Loss (SNHL) causes one ear’s hearing to abruptly stop. For one or three days, this occurs. The cochlea, auditory nerve, and inner ear are all impacted by this illness. In India, this illness affects over 10 lakh individuals annually, the majority of whom are elderly.
Causes
According to the physician, there are several reasons why abrupt sensorineural hearing loss might happen. It may be barotrauma if it occurs after taking a flight. In addition, an inner ear infection caused by a virus or bacterium might be another factor. To begin therapy in such a case, visit an ENT right once and have an otoscopy and hearing test completed.
Symptoms
- Ringing in Ear
- Hearing Loss
- Imbalance while walking
Precautions
- Use any of your hearing aids for up to 60 minutes a day at a volume of no more than 60%. There is a greater chance of either temporary or permanent hearing loss when using it louder or longer.
- Steer clear of using headphones all the time, and take regular pauses.
- When attending concerts, athletic events, or parties, stay away from loudspeakers.
- Avoid taking flights in the winter as this increases the risk of barotrauma, or ear injuries. Consult an ENT physician before departing if travel is required.
