Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve deafness, also known as sensorineural hearing loss, is a serious type of deafness that involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, often leading to permanent hearing loss. It is not easily cured and can significantly impact quality of life.  Nerve deafness signals a defect in neural mechanisms that create nerve impulses in the ear or relay them to the auditory nerve. Damage to the auditory cortex can also cause nerve damage.
