Auditory Neuropathy is a hearing disorder where sound enters the inner ear normally, but the signals sent to the brain are disrupted. This condition can lead to difficulties in understanding speech, especially in noisy environments. People with auditory neuropathy may hear sounds but struggle to process them correctly. The exact cause of auditory neuropathy can vary and may include issues with the auditory nerve or inner ear structures. It can affect individuals of all ages, from infants to adults, and is often diagnosed through specialized hearing tests. Treatment options may include hearing aids or cochlear implants, depending on the severity.
