FEATURES OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL AND ACQUIRED SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS

Abstract

Sensorineural hearing loss is currently the most important medical and social problem and is an urgent problem of neurology. According to various researchers, from 6% to 36% of the world's population suffers from ear pathology, of which 60-80% have sensorineural hearing impairment (damage to the cochleo-vestibular nerve receptor - the cochlea of the inner ear).Deafness is the most common defect in sensory systems in children and occurs in 1: 750 cases, and in adults 4-36% depending on age, which reflects the interaction of environmental factors and individual genetic predisposition (Tranebjaerg L., 2000).About 400 genetic syndromes that include hearing impairment have been described (Friedman T.V., Griffith A J., 2003).
