How can conduction deafness be treated?

Conduction deafness can often be treated through medical or surgical interventions, depending on the underlying cause. Options include medications for infections or inflammation, removal of earwax, and surgical procedures to repair damaged structures in the ear, such as the tympanic membrane or ossicles. Hearing aids may also be used to amplify sound for those who cannot undergo surgery. In some cases, addressing the underlying issue can restore hearing fully.
