Read moreIs high-frequency hearing loss conductive or sensorineural?

Read moreDoes sensorineural hearing loss affect high-frequency?
If the sensory cells in your cochlea are damaged, you lose the ability to hear and ultimately process these sounds. As the hair cells that perceive low-frequency sounds are located near the top of the cochlea, hearing loss typically occurs at higher frequencies first .23 Ağu 2018

However, Meniere’s disease is unpredictable and the hearing loss may not affect low frequencies, but instead high frequencies . Some people will gradually develop more serious levels of hearing loss, which may be only in one ear or both ears. The hearing loss can range from mild to profound.
Read moreCan hearing loss from Meniere’s be reversed?
