Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a type of hearing impairment that occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea) or the auditory nerve pathways that transmit sound signals to the brain. This condition is characterized by a reduced ability to hear sounds clearly and can affect the perception of both loudness and clarity.
