Jayendra takes his young daughter to a hearing specialist who recommends cochlear implants for her hearing impairment. What type of hearing loss does his daughter have?
A) collicular hearing loss
B) conduction hearing loss
C) place hearing loss
D) sensorineural hearing loss
Answer: D
Rationale: Sensorineural hearing loss results from damage to the cochlear hair cells and the neurons comprising the auditory nerve. Cochlear implants, which are small electronic devices that consist of a microphone, speech processor, and electrodes, are placed into the cochlea. These implants would not be used for conduction hearing loss, which is not caused by damage to the cochlea or auditory nerve.
