Conduction deafness can occur anytime there is a disruption of the transmission and amplification of the sound vibrations by the auditory ossicles from the tympanic membrane to the oval window. This disruption can occur as trauma or a bony outgrowth to the ossicles themselves that would cause fusion or fixation of the ossicles.

∙ 10y ago- Fusion of the ossicles is also known as otosclerosis, tympanosclerosis, incuomalleolar fixation and incuostapedial fixation.
- If fusion or fixation has occurred, the sound vibrations cannot be transmitted to the inner ear for conversion into electrical energy that would be sent to the brain for interpretation.
- The answer is YES, "conduction" deafness is a result of ossicle fusion.

Can conduction deafness result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve?
Yes the result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve is sensorineural deafness. The result from the fusion of the ossicles is conduction deafness.
What type of deafness can result from the fusion of the ossicles?
Conduction deafness can be a direct result of the fusion of any or all of the three ossicles of the middle ear. If the ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations properly, then they will not be received by the oval window to be transmitted to the inner ear.
What can result from the fusion of the ossicles?
Fusion or fixation of the auditory ossicles is primarily a congenital problem (you're born with it). However, it can be caused by other factors such as:old-age calicification of the ossiclesscar tissue from repeated infections or traumaformation of bony overgrowthsformation of spongy bone in the labyrinth
What kind of deafness can result from a blood clot in the auditory cortex?
Conduction!
How is hearing loss related to the ossicles?
If there is a change to the basic structure or functioning ability of your auditory ossicles, this would result in Conductive Deafness as the ossicles will not be able to transmit and amplify the sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane to the oval window.
What is the function of the earlobe on a human body?
The superior and anterior malleolar ligaments in the middle ear assist in the function of the three auditory ossicles. If they are damaged, condutive deafness may result.
When you are deaf what part is damaged?
When you are deaf multiple parts of the ear can be injured. The ear receives sound as vibration that it converts into sound that is understood by the brain. The parts of the ear that can be injured to result in deafness are the following: the eardrum, the cochlea, the auditory nerve and the middle ear ossicles. Damage to any one of these will result in deafness.
What is the difference between conduction deafness and perceptive deafness?
Conductive deafness is when the sound waves are prevented from reaching the inner ear. It can be because of wax in the outer canal, fluid inside it, or the tiny bones in the ear have seized up. With perceptive deafness, sound waves can reach the inner ear, though it is a disease of the nerves leading to the brain or a condition affecting the function of the inner ear. Most cases of deafness fall into the category of conductive and perceptive deafness, though other cases of deafness are as simple as the result of old age.
A condition of deafness that may result from otosclerosis?
glaucoma
Can bacterial menengitis cause deafness?
Yes, absolutely. That is a common result.
What is the by-product of nuclear fusion?
In deuterium-tritium fusion, the result is helium-4. In helium fusion, carbon is produced.
Why is the end result of nuclear fusion less dense than its original parts?
The end result of nuclear fusion is dense than its original parts because in fusion they lose some of their energy.
