Detailed explanation-1: -This type of hearing loss occurs when the inner ear or the actual hearing nerve itself becomes damaged. This loss generally occurs when some of the hair cells within the cochlea are damaged. Sensorineural loss is the most common type of hearing loss.
Detailed explanation-2: -Conductive hearing loss (CHL) occurs because of a mechanical problem in the outer or middle ear. This may be because: Sound is not reaching the eardrum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Conductive hearing loss can be produced by any defect in the pinna, external auditory canal, tympanic membrane, and ossicles, up to the footplate of the stapes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Causes of Conductive Hearing Loss Fluid in your middle ear from colds or allergies. Ear infection, or otitis media. Otitis is a term used to mean ear infection, and media means middle. Poor Eustachian tube function.
Detailed explanation-5: -Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound conduction is impeded through the external ear, the middle ear, or both. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is a problem within the cochlea or the neural pathway to the auditory cortex. Mixed hearing loss is concomitant conductive and sensorineural loss.
