Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by the degeneration of hair cells in the inner ear.

Answer: C
 Ringing in the ears, also known as tinnitus, is a common symptom of sensorineural hearing loss.

Answer: D
 Dizziness and nausea are not typically associated with sensorineural hearing loss, and may be indicative of a different problem.

Answer: A and E
 Problems with structures of the middle ear, such as ear infections or damage to the eardrum, can cause conductive hearing loss. Damage to the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds, can also result in hearing loss. However, neither of these issues is specifically associated with sensorineural hearing loss.
