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.
B. Damage to his middle ear
In cases where it is permanent, heredity. There are a lot of things that can disrupt hearing, including wax buildup and a number of illnesses or conditions. But these are all temporary (usually) and can be treated directly and on a symptomatic basis. In some cases, those serious and progressive ones, the affected individual has something "passed down" in his makeup that contributes to the condition.

What diagnostic tests are used to determine conduction deafness?

One test used to determine conduction deafness is Weber's Test. A fork is vibrated against the forehead and should be heard equally in both ears. If it is heard best in the 'good' ear than it is sensorineural deafness but if it is heard best in the 'bad' ear then this is what determines the conduction deafness.
