What Casues Sensorineural Hearing Loss?

Sir, My daughter, Manya, aged 3 years, has been diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss with severe to profound hearing loss and she has been advised for cochlear implants. Because of hearing loss, she has not been able to speak as well. I wish to ask you if there is anything in homeopathy or ayurveda that can cure my baby and get her hearing and speaking normal.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Sensorineural hearing loss in a child often occurs right from birth and may be caused due to certain congenital infections like TORCH. It severely impedes with speech development as hearing is the first step for the development of speech. No medicines, be it homeopathic, ayurvedic or anything will not make her hear since the apparatus she has been born with, is defective. Cochlear implant is an artificial simulation of the inner ear and is essential. It has to be backed up with proper speech therapy. Please do not delay the process and 3 years is already late for intervention and further delay may hamper speech development.
