Conduction hearing impairment refers to hearing problems that originate in the outer or middle ear. This type of impairment occurs when sound waves cannot efficiently travel through the ear canal to the eardrum or the ossicles (small bones in the middle ear). Common causes include earwax blockage, fluid accumulation, or structural issues. Unlike sensorineural hearing loss, conduction hearing impairment often can be treated or improved with medical intervention.
Sensory impairments refer to difficulties in processing sensory information, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. The four main types of sensory impairments are visual impairment, hearing impairment, tactile impairment (problems with touch), and olfactory impairment (loss of sense of smell).

Hearing impairment is any loss of hearing for a variety of reasons. It refers to a condition that causes someone not to hear as well as someone with normal hearing. It does not refer to the degree of hearing loss, the cause of hearing loss or the indication that someone should wear a hearing aid. Not all causes of hearing loss indicate the need for a hearing aid...some may be corrected medically. If you ask others to repeat, find yourself turning up the tv, missing out on the punchline of a joke, missing out on important meeting facts, you might be experiencing some degree of hearing impairment.
