A conductive hearing loss occurs when the outer or middle ear does not efficiently transfer sound to the inner ear. In the outer ear common causes include ear wax and foreign objects in the ear canal.
conductive hearing loss is caused by damage to the bones of the ear,or to the tymanic membrane(eardrum),or to the outer ear. Nerve damage is the only other kind of hearing loss you can have and that is caused by damage to the nerves in the cochlea..I was born without eardrums and have a conductive loss

Where does nerve conduction deafness occur?
Nerve conduction deafness is one of the two types of deafness that can happen. It occurs when there is a break in communication between the nerve cells and the inner ear.
Sound heard in one ear but not in the other during bone and air conduction?
conduction deafness
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.

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 is Saltatory conduction made possible by?
Saltatory conduction is made possible by myelinated nerve fibers. This is the means through which one node of Ranvier will communicate with the next.
What is the bones of the ears together called?
When the bones of the ears are essentially stuck together, this is called auditory ossicle fusion or fixation. It is one of the many cause of Conduction Deafness or loss of hearing.
What is fusion of the ossicles?
Fusion or fixation of the ossicles is where one or more of the three auditory ossicles cannot transmit sound vibrations for a variety of reasons. This does cause "conduction" deafness or hearing loss.
What is demyelinating processes?
Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.
Can it be the heat sensor on the vehicle that can light up the check engine light?
That is one of dozens of possible causes.That is one of dozens of possible causes.
Would the coil pack be the reason a Chrysler New Yorker shuts off?
It is one of many possible causes.It is one of many possible causes.
Is saltatory conduction made possible by large nerves fibers diphasic impulses myelin sheath or erratic transmission of nerve impulses?
Saltatory conduction is made possible by gaps in the myelin sheath (called nodes of Ranvier) along the axon, which allow for the action potential to "jump" from one node to the other, increasing conduction velocity.
