ENT Specialist 's  Response
A sensorineural hearing loss could be congenital(by birth) or acquired.Ability to understand speech points to a diagnosis of nerve or cochlear damage.Initial treatment is with hearing aids.Now modern hearing aids like in the canal type ,in the ear are there where in cosmetic problems are solved to an extent.A cochlear implant should be done as early as possible when the problem has occured.It is done for cichlear type of deafness.The machine costs around 6 lakhs,kkr ent banglore is one of the centre where this surgery is performed
