Conductive Hearing Loss

If the sound is not conducted sufficiently through your outer ear canal to the eardrum and the tiny bones of your middle ear then this type of hearing loss is called conductive hearing loss. The tiny bones of your middle ear are also known as ossicles. Conductive hearing loss normally involves a diminution in sound level and results in the inability to hear dim sounds. Although, you can still hear people speaking to you but their speech may sound stifled, faint or far away.

 Sensorineural hearing loss is the cause of conductive hearing loss due to conjunction. All the frequencies of your hearing are affected by most conductive hearing losses calmly and they do not commonly result in stern hearing losses. A person who is suffering from conductive hearing loss is normally able to use a hearing aid or be able to have their hearing loss treated and corrected medically or surgically.

There are different types of conductive hearing loss like otitis media and ostosclerosis. There are also many circumstances which may cause someone to suffer from conductive hearing loss such as fluid build-up in the middle ear due to colds, allergies, poor eustachian tube function, ear infection, perforated eardrum, benign tumors, impacted earwax, the presence of a foreign body in your ear, the absence or deformity of your ear canal and ear canal infection. The children who suffer from returning ear infections or persisting middle ear effusion (fluid behind the eardrum) normally have a conductive hearing loss.
