Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the pharynx. The organ of Corti contains the hair cells. The semicircular canal is one of the three bones of the labyrinth. The auditory canal leads to the middle ear.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Presbycusis is the most common form of sensorineural hearing loss in elderly people. Conductive hearing loss does not occur as frequently as presbycusis. Otitis media is an infection in the middle ear and is not defined as a hearing loss. Mnire disease leads to vertigo, not hearing loss.
