Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer or middle ear. (Something stuck in hear canal, perforated ear drum, breakdown in the ossicular chain)
Sensorineural loss occurs in the inner ear inside cochlea where the tinny hair cells have become damaged.
Sensory and neural hearing loss, on the other hand, cannot readily be cured. Fortunately such hearing loss is rarely complete, and hearing aids can fill the deficit.
Conductive hearing loss can be treated with alternative therapies that are specific to the particular condition.
Homeopathic therapies may help patients who have sensory hearing loss.
There are three basic types of hearing loss. They are as follows: 1. Conductive 2. Sensorineural 3. Mixed
Prompt treatment and attentive follow-up of middle ear infections in children will prevent this cause of conductive hearing loss.
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
Conductive Loss - Normal hearing for bone conduction scores ([ & ]), and showing a hearing loss for Air Conduction scores (X &O) Sensorineural Loss- Hearing loss (equally) for both air and bone conduction
sensorineural, conductive, and mixed
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.
Conductive
sensory hearing loss, refers to damage to the organ of Corti and the acoustic nerve. Prolonged exposure to loud noise is the leading cause of sensory hearing loss.
OtosclerosisOtosclerosis is ankylosis (fusion) of the bones of the middle ear, resulting in conductive hearing loss.Otosclerosis
