<p><strong>What is Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)?</strong></p>

<p>Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) refers to hearing loss caused by damage to tiny hair cells in the inner ear (cochlea) or the nerve pathways from the inner ear to the brain. It can occur at any age and is called “rare” because it accounts for only 5-15% of all cases of hearing loss.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Causes of Sensorineural Hearing Loss</strong></p>

<p>Several factors can lead to SNHL including genetic factors, infections during pregnancy, ageing, noise exposure and certain medications.</p>

<p>Bacterial or viral infections such as meningitis, mumps, and measles can cause damage to the inner ear. Head injuries that damage the inner ear or auditory nerve can result in SNHL.</p>

<p><strong>Symptoms of Sensorineural Hearing Loss</strong></p>

<p>The symptoms of SNHL can vary depending on the severity:</p>

<p>- Difficulty understanding speech, especially in noisy environments.</p>

<p>- Muffled hearing.</p>

<p>- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears).</p>

<p>- Dizziness or balance issues (in some cases).</p>

<p>- Need to increase the volume of electronic devices.</p>

<p><strong>Prevention of Sensorineural Hearing Loss</strong></p>

<p>While not all causes of SNHL are preventable, certain measures can significantly reduce the risk:</p>

<p>- Hearing Protection: Use earplugs or earmuffs in noisy environments to protect against noise-induced hearing loss.</p>

<p>- Safe Listening Practices: Keep the volume at safe levels when using headphones or earphones, and take breaks to give your ears rest.</p>

<p>- Medication Awareness: Be aware of the potential ototoxic effects of medications and consult healthcare providers about alternatives if possible.</p>

Tragic! Indian singer Alka Yagnik diagnosed with rare hearing disorder

<p>One of Bollywood's most famous playback singers, Alka Yagnik has achieved a major milestone.

With a career spanning over three decades, Yagnik has done playback for almost all the leading heroines of Bollywood and her songs have ruled the charts through the entire 1990s and 2000s.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Yagnik's versatility is well known and she has sung over 7000 songs in several Indian languages over years. She has been awarded several awards in her career including the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer.<br />

Alka Yagnik beats BTS, Taylor Swift to become the most-streamed artist on YouTube

<p>Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has penned letter to singers Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan urging them not cancel their participation in a show scheduled in Dallas, US, citing that it has been organised by a Pakistani national.<br />
<br />
The FWICE which is the mother body of more than 32 affiliates has warned the singers to cancel their show named `Throwback 90`s` which is scheduled to take place on 17 November.<br />
<br />
The letter which states that the organisation "holds the dignity of our country as paramountly important" comes in the wake of the recent abrogation of Article 370 in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.<br />
<br />
"Back to the tensions prevailing with our neighbours, more so after abrogation of Article 370, FWICE which holds the dignity of our country as paramountly important, has time and again informed the members of the film fraternity to abstain from associating with a Pakistani National in any platform of cultural or professional activities in Pakistan or in any part of the world," the letter stated.<br />
<br />
"Very recently FWICE got to know that renowned singer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/diljit-dosanjh-postpones-us-concert-says-will-always-stand-for-greater-interest-of-india-249024">Mr Diljit Dosanjh </a>was to perform in an event in USA on Sept 21st at the invitation of Mr Rehan Siddiqi a Pakistani National. FWICE immediately swung into action of asking the singer to cancel his participation in the event," the letter read.<br />
<br />
After the letter was issued to him, Dosanjh tweeted, "However in lieu of the letter by the FWICE I have decided to postpone my Houston show at this time. I love my country and will always stand for the greater interest of the Nation INDIA Always."<br />
<br />
"Needless to add here that you all are acclaimed singers of India and have garnered enormous people from this country. Guess you would reciprocate the same sentiments with your countrymen and not throw open any ground for disharmony and displeasures arising out of any adverse eventuality in the future," the letter concluded.<br />
<br />
Last month, <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/film-association-withdraws-ban-on-mika-singh-after-singer-apologises-for-show-in-pakistan-244715">Mika had performed in Pakistan</a> with his group at an event organised by former Pakistani president Pervez Musharraf`s close relative.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
After which netizens and fans revolted over the idea and called Mika a `traitor` on social media.<br />
