When are hearing aids ineffective in helping with hearing loss?

Since hearing aids and hearing devices simplify amplify and modify sound inputs, they are ineffective in cases where the hearing loss comes from a loss of function of central nervous system and brain cells to interpret signals or when hair cells in the inner ear are damaged in sensorineural hearing loss. In these cases where the body becomes unable to discriminate or interpret sound signals, the sound amplification provided by hearing devices are ineffective.
