The most common cause of hearing loss is exposure to loud noise, such as music, which can permanently damage the hair cells of the cochlea. Would you expect this to result in conductive or sensorineural hearing loss? What results would you expect from the Rinne and Weber tests in an individual with noise-induced hearing loss? A standard hearing aid functions by amplifying the sound conducted through the external auditory canal. Explain why this type of hearing aid is effective for conductive hearing loss, but not sensorineural hearing loss?
