Answer 1

Conductive deafness or conductive hearing loss is when the sound waves are not fully processed while in route to throughout the ear. Sound waves are lost somewhere in the outer ear, tympanic membrane, or middle ear.

Answer 2

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.
