ontsteking van de gehoorszenuwen
Explanation:
neuritis = zenuwontsteking
maar 'zenuw' zit al in gehoorszenuwen (gehoorszenuw - nervus acousticus)
dus 'ontsteking' is voldoende

meervoud 'gehoorszenuwen' impliceert beiderzijds (= bilateraal)

The cochlear nerve (also auditory or acoustic nerve) is one of two parts of the vestibulocochlear nerve, a cranial nerve present in higher vertebrates. The cochlear nerve carries signals [vague] from the cochlea of the inner ear directly to the brain. The other portion of the vestibulocochlear nerve is the vestibular nerve, which carries spatial orientation information to the brain from the semicircular canals.

As illustrated above, Sensorineural hearing loss is an inner ear hearing loss. The inner ear loss can occur in the cochlea, the cochlear or auditory nerve, the brainstem, or the auditory cortex. The auditory cortex is the region of the brain in which sound is heard.

A viral infection can cause inflammation of the inner ear or auditory nerve.

  -> Ach wat, makkelijk Gedoe, gouden Gerard. Nou dan, wat je opmerkt, was mij ook opgevallen, één zenuw zou aan twee tegenovergestelde zijden ontstoken zijn: anatomisch en biologisch onmogelijk, niet vaststelbaar in vivo en als uitspraak een noviteit.

neuritis nervi acustici bilateralis
Bilaterale ontsteking van de gehoorszenuw


Explanation:
De term "neuritis nervi acustici bilateralis" is the medical latin term. In scientific medical texts, we often use latin terms for anatomy and some affections. This is the international medical vocabulary and any medical doctor in the world understands this term. If the text is intended for non-scientific use, it is better to use the common term.
De translation "Ontsteling van de gehoorszenuwen" is not realy wrong, but I miss the sense of "billateral" (billateralis) which means that the patient has an infection on both sides. That is why "Billaterale ontsteking van de gehoorszenuwen"
For your information, I studied latin and medical science

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: For your information, ik heb doctoraal geneeskunde. Je doet of het verplicht is om 'bilateraal' te gebruiken: uiteraard niet. Daarnaast is het dubbelop. Overigens is 'nervi acustici' het meervoud van 'nervus acusticus' -> ... van de gehoorszenuwen

disagree  Gerard de Noord: For anyone's information: I've studied Latin at the University of Amsterdam to be able to go on to my second year of French Literature. Ik lees hier een tweezijdige ontsteking van één zenuw.
