I'll go with A because Hearing impairment is a consequence of sitting too close. And the option A correctly modifies Hearing impairment.

I'd also go for A. We can eliminate D and E off the bat since "damaged" is referring to the hearing impairment rather than what would make more sense, hearing itself.

C is redundant ("a consequence which resulted") and B uses the incorrect idiom ("a consequence from")

So I would go with A.
