Question

sensorineural hearing loss can result from all of the following except: cerumen impaction viral infections meningitis aging

Explanation:

Sensorineural hearing loss is due to damage to the inner ear (cochlea) or auditory nerve. Cerumen impaction is a mechanical blockage in the ear canal (causing conductive hearing loss). Viral infections can damage inner ear structures. Meningitis (infection of the meninges) can affect the auditory nerve. Aging (presbycusis) causes degeneration of inner ear cells.
