Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Exposure to loud noises can cause sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by damage to the hair cells in the inner ear. Tympanic and conductive hearing loss are caused by problems with the ear canal or middle ear, and compression hearing loss is rare and caused by changes in atmospheric pressure.
