Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve hearing impairment, also known as sensorineural hearing loss, is caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory pathways and cortical areas of the brain. This type of hearing loss can be caused by aging, genetic factors, noise exposure, infections, and other factors that damage the hair cells in the inner ear or the nerve fibers that transmit sound signals to the brain.
