What is Conductive Hearing Loss?
A conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem with
the one or more of the parts of the outer or middle ear that
conduct sound into the inner ear. The ear canal, ear drum, and
the tiny bones in the middle ear make up the conductive system.
A conductive hearing loss can often be partially or completely
reversed with surgical or medical treatment.
Potential Causes:
There are many potential causes of conductive hearing loss.
Abnormal formation of the outer or middle ear structures, a
middle ear infection, abnormal bone growth in the middle ear,
a hole in the eardrum, or poor Eustachian tube function may
be responsible for conductive hearing loss.
Treatment Options:
Treatment for conductive hearing loss varies based on the cause. Medications are usually prescribed for ear infections, whereas surgery is usually an option for abnormal outer or middle ear structures and other physical problems. Hearing aids are can be the best answer when surgery is not an option.
