Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensorineural hearing loss is often caused by inner ear damage or nerve pathway damage to the brain, which can be due to heredity and genetics, among other factors such as aging, noise exposure, and certain diseases. Otitis media, sinus infections, and head colds typically cause conductive hearing loss, not sensorineural.
