In List I some of the conditions related to the process of hearing are mentioned. In List II, the corresponding type of hearing loss is given. Match the two lists and choose the correct answer from the code given below.
| List-I | List-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Sounds are prevented from entering the outer or middle ear | (i) Sensori-neural hearing loss |
| (b) The inner ear does not function properly | (ii) Central auditory processing disorder |
| (c) The brain is unable to interpret the signals | (iii) Mixed hearing loss |
| (iv) Conductive hearing loss |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
In auditory pathology: when sound waves are physically blocked or prevented from passing through the outer or middle ear (a), it causes Conductive hearing loss (iv); when the cochlea or auditory nerve in the inner ear is damaged (b), it causes Sensori-neural hearing loss (i); and when the ear hears normally but the brain cannot interpret auditory signals (c), it is a Central auditory processing disorder (ii). Thus, (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii) is correct.
