If you are exposed to diseases such as mumps, measles, meningitis, multiple sclerosis and Meniere’s disease it can lead to sensorineural disorder. This can also occur due to the aging problem. Other main causes are trauma, immune diseases and intake of certain medications. Constant exposure to high-frequency sound may also trigger this inner ear disease.
