A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.
(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time

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.
