combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss
sensorineural hearing loss
hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or to the auditory nerves; also called nerve deafness
retrocochlear hearing loss
•Disorder of VIII nerve or auditory brainstem
The ability for the cochlea to change mechanical energy into nerve impulses is damaged

Does impact suprathreshold hearing (Speech recognition even when sound is loud)
sensorineural hearing loss
There will be reduced sensitivity as well as suprathreshold hearing problems
