________ deafness results from damage along the neural pathway for hearing,whereas ________ deafness involves altered transmission of sound waves.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first blank refers to neural pathway, indicating a problem with the transmission of auditory signals from the ear to the brain, which is characteristic of sensorineural hearing loss. The second blank describes an issue with the transmission of sound waves, indicating a problem with the mechanics of the ear, which is characteristic of conductive hearing loss. Therefore, the correct choice is D, Sensorineural; conductive.
