Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensorineural hearing loss (SHL) is a very common disorder that affects more than 10% of the global population. Sensorineural hearing loss affects people of all ages, from newborn children to the elderly; SHL can delay or entirely inhibit language development in children, and in adults, it can lead to withdrawal from society—drastically decreasing quality of life. Universal newborn hearing screening, genetic research improvement, hearing aids and cochlear/auditory brainstem implantation have shed the light on the field; however, much more research and information are still required to better help SHL patients. Thus, I would like to invite you to contribute your excellent research to the Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, Hearing and Balance Medicine.
