What is the medical term meaning hearing loss because the middle ear does not conduct sound vibrations to the inner ear normally?
In conductive hearing loss, sound is not conducted to the middle ear. Otosclerosis is one cause of conductive hearing loss; tympanic membrane rupture is another.

How can you protect your sense of hearing?
You can protect your sense of hearing, simply by avoiding yourself listening to harsh, loud sound. A sound above 85 decibels can cause hearing loss. 8hours exposure to a 90- decibel sound can cause damage to your eardrums. Any exposure to 140-decibel sound causes immediate damage and can cause actual pain.
What is the lowest level of noise that can cause hearing loss?
The lowest level of noise that can cause hearing loss is 85 dB. Prolonged exposure to noise at this level or higher can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells in the inner ear which are responsible for transmitting sound signals to the brain. In general any noise louder than 80 dB can cause hearing loss so it is important to protect your hearing when exposed to these levels of sound. Noise levels below 70 dB do not typically cause hearing loss. Noise levels between 70 and 85 dB can cause hearing loss with extended unprotected exposure. Noise levels above 85 dB can cause hearing loss with shorter unprotected exposure.It is important to be aware of the noise levels around you and to take steps to protect your hearing. If a noise is too loud wear hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs. Additionally it is important to take regular breaks away from noise to allow your ears to rest.
