Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The damage to Timmy's auditory nerve results in neural deafness, which means the problem is with the nerve pathways that transmit sound from the ear to the brain, rather than with the physical structures of the ear (such as in conduction deafness). Auditory fatigue refers to temporary hearing loss due to overstimulation of the auditory system, and cochlea implants are electronic devices that can provide hearing to those with severe hearing loss.
