Nerve deafness is also termed as sensorineural hearing loss is caused by impairment of the ear cochlea or the auditory nerve. The cochlea has nerve endings or the hair cells at the end have a reaction towards the sharp sounds and in middle to the low pitch sounds. The hair cells and the nerve which interfaces it to the cerebrum do not have any power to harm from a variety of causes. A benign tumor called as acoustic neuroma arises from acoustic vestibulocochlear nerve resulting in tinnitus which is ringing in the ears, decreased hearing and vertigo. At the transmission level this deficit is produced.

Conductive deafness is due to the impairment of the middle ear ossicle along with the membranes which transmit the sound waves to the cochlea. Otosclerosis leads the bony tissues of ear to get hardened causing stiffness or fixing of stapes leading to conductive deafness as the sound vibration entering the ears is not transmitted by ossicle.

Helga [31]
<span>The grouping of organisms based on their common descent is called evolutionary classification. Through evolution, one species has changed and become modified until it became what it is today. However, some of today's organisms have the same predecessor, which is evident if you take evolution into consideration. </span>

State two biological reasons why you consider that the loss of biodiversity matters.
Marat540 [252]
Loss of biodiversity matters because it affects the overall sustainability of organisms in an ecosystem. It also affects how badly an ecosystem will be affected after something, maybe a natural disaster, or maybe a disease, strikes the region. (For example, if a disease affects a certain species of organism, if there was a lot of biodiversity among individuals, some will have some kind of natural immunity to that disease and survive, passing on their favorable traits to the next generation. However, if everybody was the same and did not have the immunity to that disease, that entire population would eventually die out.) <- This is also the reason that lack of biodiversity will inhibit natural selection.
Hope that helped you.
