Conductive hearing loss means that the hearing nerve and cochlea are working normal, but the sound is not getting to the cochlea properly. This generally means one of 4 things: ear canal problems (ear wax, infection, developmental deformity), ear drum problem (stiff or punctured), ear bones problem (otosclerosis), or middle ear problem (fluid in middle ear, eustachian tube pressure problems). Conductive hearing losses are often able to be corrected by medicine or surgery, unlike nerve hearing problems.

Jacob most likely is having issues with fluid in his inner ear. The three little bones the hammer, stirrup, and anvil cannot transmit signals to the cochlea.

Conductive deafness is caused by the sound waves essentially getting lost as it travels through the ear. It can be lost in the outer ear, middle ear, or tympanic membrane.

What are the chances of twins with TTTS surviving?

The chances of survival are very high depending on when TTTS is diagnosed, if it is diagnosed early on in the pregnancy then it could be fatal but later on ( after 26 weeks) the chances are far higher! I was a TTTS baby my self and i am still alive and kicking, both me and my twin survived into our early teens then she passed away from other issues. The chance on at least one of the babies being disabled is a possibility it is more likely to be the recipient of the extra blood but the donor can become ill!

Why does carrying an umbrella increase your chances of being hit by lightning?

Umbrellas, especially those with conductive metal frames, can conduct electrical charges from the ground, making a shorter path for any lightning discharge that occurs nearby. Non-conductive handles of plastic or wood reduce this danger. Given the very low odds of a lightning strike hitting relatively close to you, the increased risk is not very great, but it does exist.
