[Curable forms of sensorineural hearing loss]

Upon the analysis of the literature data and original investigations the author makes the conclusion on the existance of several etiopathogenetic forms of neurosensory hypoacusis. One of the forms is caused by defective conduction of the sound wave energy to senso-neural elements of the receptor. This form can be diagnostically differentiated from the others and is sensitive to treatment, with low-frequency aperiodic pulse current, in particular.
