Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the cochlear hair cells or the auditory nerve, which prevents sound from being effectively transmitted to the brain. This is different from conduction hearing loss, which is caused by problems in the outer or middle ear, and temporary hearing loss, which may result from conditions such as ear infections or excessive noise exposure but typically resolves on its own. Puncturing is not a type of hearing loss.
