AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This type of hearing loss occurs when the inner ear or the actual hearing nerve itself becomes damaged. This loss generally occurs when some of the hair cells within the cochlea are damaged. Sensorineural loss is the most common type of hearing loss.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by a problem in the inner ear. Often it’s because the tiny hair cells that move sound through the ear don’t work right because of damage or disease, and stem cells in the ear can’t keep up with the repair.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is caused by damage to the structures in your inner ear or your auditory nerve. It is the cause of more than 90 percent of hearing loss in adults. Common causes of SNHL include exposure to loud noises, genetic factors, or the natural aging process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nerve deafness; Hearing loss-sensorineural; Acquired hearing loss; SNHL; Noise-induced hearing loss; NIHL; Presbycusis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound conduction is impeded through the external ear, the middle ear, or both. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is a problem within the cochlea or the neural pathway to the auditory cortex. Mixed hearing loss is concomitant conductive and sensorineural loss.
