You have a baby that does not seem to respond to sound. Upon thorough investigation by the doctor, there is nothing visibly wrong with the baby's ears. What internal issue may there be that is causing hearing impairment in your baby?
A) The stereocilia within the cochlea are malformed, causing them not to bend properly in response to vibrations of the cochlear membranes caused by different sound frequencies.
B) The auditory ossicles within the inner ear are not transmitting the sound waves properly because the first and second ossicles broke apart.
C) The stereocilia within the middle ear are malformed so sound is not transmitted from the outer ear to the inner ear.
