A conductive hearing loss happens when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear. It may be hard to hear soft sounds. Louder sounds may be muffled. Medicine or surgery can often fix this type of hearing loss.
How do you know if your hearing loss is conductive?
- Muffled hearing.
- Inability to hear quiet sounds.
- Dizziness.
- Gradual loss of hearing.
- Ear pain.
- Fluid drainage from the ear.
- Feeling that your ears are full or stuffy.
What is the most common cause of conductive deafness?
According to Rothholtz, the most common cause of conductive hearing loss is a buildup of earwax that muffles sound. Rothholtz adds that some other types of conductive hearing loss include: Otosclerosis: This causes bone from the cochlea to grow onto the stapes bone in the middle ear, making it more difficult to hear.
