Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impairment of the organ of Corti or its central connections causes a sensorineural hearing loss. The hearing loss may be gradual or sudden. Conditions that commonly cause sensorineural hearing loss include congenital and hereditary factors, noise exposure, aging, Ménière disease, ototoxicity, and systemic disease (e.g., syphilis, Paget disease, collagen diseases, diabetes mellitus). Outer ear trauma is not a typical cause of sensorineural hearing loss.
