The most extreme result would be a complete loss of hearing abilities, but most damage is likely to affect only a certain part of hearing. The Auditory Cortex doesn't do the hearing, of course, but it's responsible for making sense of what is being heard. Major damage could prevent the understanding of language, while minor damage could distort and confuse specific sounds. Therapy should be able to heal minor damage.
