What is Conductive Hearing Loss?
Conductive hearing loss is caused by damage to the middle or outer area of the ear. This differs from sensorineural hearing loss which results from damage to the inner ear or the nerve transmitting signals to the brain. Conductive hearing loss might be due to ear infections, blockages, or structural abnormalities.
