AB Diseases  of  the  cochlea  result  in  sensory  hearing  loss,  a  condition  that  is  usually  irreversible.  Most  cochlear  diseases  result  in  bilateral  symmetric  hearing  loss.  The  presence  of  unilateral  or  asymmetric  sensorineural  hearing  loss  suggests  a  lesion  proximal  to  the  cochlea.  Lesions  affecting  the  eighth  cranial  nerve  and  central  auditory  system  are  discussed  in  the  section  on  neural  hearing  loss.  The  primary  goals  in  the  management  of  sensory  hearing  loss  are  prevention  of  further  losses  and  functional  improvement  with  amplification  and  auditory  rehabilitation.
