Abstract:

Acquired sensorineural auditory deficits represent one of the most challenging forms of hearing impairment in childhood. This condition arises when structural or functional damage occurs within the sound-perceiving components of the auditory system, ranging from the cochlear sensory receptors to higher neural pathways. Etiologically, pediatric sensorineural impairment stems from a broad spectrum of factors that may be hereditary—associated with genetic or familial influence—or non-hereditary, resulting from diverse external exposures. Depending on the timing of onset, hearing loss may be present at birth due to prenatal or perinatal insults, or it may develop later as an acquired condition triggered by environmental, infectious, traumatic, or toxic influences. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is essential for selecting effective rehabilitation approaches tailored to the child's developmental and psycho-emotional needs.
