Question

Nerve hearing impairment can BEST be treated with ________.
A) normal sound-amplifying hearings aids 
B) drug treatments that regrow hair cells
C) classical conditioning to very low sounds
D) cochlear implants

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nerve hearing impairment occurs when the auditory nerve or inner ear hair cells are damaged, so sound-amplifying hearing aids or classical conditioning would not be effective. While research on regrowing hair cells shows promise, it is not yet a widely available treatment. Cochlear implants can bypass damaged hair cells and directly stimulate the auditory nerve, providing a way to restore hearing function for those with nerve hearing impairment.
