is sensorineural hearing loss permanent?


A Guru in his own eyes that have a youtube cannel and call himself "real world audio" claim that you can overcome sensoineural hearing loss by and even his mentor ,Stu, had told him so. And this is by special method that they know.

i was so suprised how many Audiophiles want to believe those mumbo jumbo

so, for all those:

SNHL is usually permanent . Once the hair cells of the inner ear are damageed or lost, they can’t be repaired

Some individuals have the ability to create/live in their own reality, and that includes defying physical science.

I have a list of degenerative conditions throughout my body and hearing loss/massive tinnitus are 2 of them. 

Cures/information from "gurus" and "enlightened ones" on the internet are dime a dozen.

In today's world, one can declare themselves a tree, and it's acceptable.

 

We live in the age of alternative universes and are all the worse for it.

Reminds me of a Werner Herzog directed movie where in a boy never exposed to humans before arriving at a University were he was taken under the care of a professor who taught him language and introduced him to society. After some time when in a hall in the school,  he asked the boy 'what was the biggest structure he had ever experienced'. The boy responded 'this room'. The professor told him this could not be as the room was just part of a much larger building. The boy responded that when outside the building he looked forward and there was the building, but when in the hall no matter where he looked all he saw was the hall!

Interesting. Unreal for sure, but for this boy, at his stage of development, this was 'real'. Laugh not, you may have been there. :-)

 

One of my favorite movie with one of my favorite director...

Gaspar Hauser...Is the movie title...

If it is presbycussis age related hearing loss most likely not curable.if it is recent due to infection ect see an ear nose and throat asap .in some cases if caught early can be helped. If asymmetric hearing loss need to rule out acoustic neuroma a small benign tumor in the bony portion of the ear causing compression on the hearing nerve.as long as it's not fluid behind your ear drum that would be acute most likely followed by upper respitory infection sinus ,throat ect.other causes of ear problems are nasal tumor compressing eustation tube where the ear drains rare occurrence. Again see your local ear nose throat doctor.

Janos from "real world audio" (others are not real?)   is not a doctor although he wants people to think he know something. This leeds to the second problem. He started a youtube chanel as a Audio Guru ans ask people to donate money for him. Anyone know who is he really?

what his family name,is his occupation that he claims -is real?

what is his real expereince in Audio?

Maybe Audiophiles are people that needs Guru?

Nerve cells don't regenerate and once they are gone, they are gone. The ringing you may hear is your brain trying to turn up the sound in the effected side. That is why you should always protect your ears when around loud noises. Anything above 95db can potentially cause hearing loss especially with prolonged exposure. When you are at a stop light and the car next to you is vibrating from the boom boom coming out of their speakers you know there is a future seriously impaired hearing loss person.

Almost certainly permanent....as of now. But who knows what the future will bring? Scientists are doing amazing things with genetics, stem cells, etc and it wouldn't be surprising if they come up with a way to "cure" sensorineural hearing loss in at least some of our lifetimes.

Tinnitus can today be “cured” through “TRT”: tinnitus retraining therapy.

The short answer is that the brain is fed sounds at a frequency that cancel out the sounds you are “hearing”, and your brain is then taught to ignore them.

The success rate these days is allegedly around 85%.
