Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Softening of the vibration structures in the receptor area does not cause presbycusis. Presbycusis is typically caused by a combination of factors including diminished supply of nutrients to the receptor cells, atrophy and degeneration of receptor cells, and loss of neurons in the auditory pathway.
