	Post-lingual hearing impairment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Post-lingual hearing impairment is a hearing impairment where hearing loss is adventitious and develops due to disease or trauma after the acquisition of speech and language, usually after the age of six.
		Hearing aids and cochlear implants may be used to regain a sense of hearing, with different people experiencing differing degrees of success.
		Typically, hearing loss is gradual, and often detected by family and friends of the people so affected long before the patients themselves will acknowledge the disability.

		There is another group of older patients, including adults, who were not born deaf, but developed bilateral profound hearing loss later on in life after speech had been acquired (post-lingual deafness).
		Children born with hearing impairment due to damage of hair-cells of the inner ear resent varying degrees of hearing loss (pre-lingual deafness), most of which can be effectively overcome with hearing aids, if necessary.
		However, it is not the usual practice to implant even these children before the age of about one, when it may be difficult to record accurate hearing thresholds, when surgery is technically more challenging and when post-implantation programming of the device can be difficult.
