Conductive Hearing Loss: Causes and Treatments Otitis Externa: Often referred to as “swimmer’s ear”, an infection of the ear canal may be related to water exposure. Although the most common symptoms of otitis externa are pain and tenderness of the ear, conductive hearing loss can also occur if there is severe swelling of the ear canal. Foreign body in Ear Canal: This is also readily identified on examination and can usually be cleared in the office.

Deafness in Adults Conductive hearing loss. 1  Nature - benign cysts, benign and malignant tumours (fibromas, papillomas, adenomas, sarcomas, carcinomas and melanomas) and neurofibromatosis type 1 can all cause tumours within the ear canal. Obstruction of the ear canal may cause conductive hearing loss.

Hearing Loss and Deafness In rare cases, tumours can also cause conductive hearing loss – they block sound from getting into the inner ear. Birth defects and diseases passed on by genes can do this, too. Genetics is one cause of sensorineural hearing loss. Half of all cases of profound deafness in children have a genetic source.

- When the portions of the ear that are responsible for transmitting the sound to the nerves are affected, it is referred to as conductive hearing loss. Conditions affecting the cochlea, eighth cranial nerve, spinal cord, or brain cause sensorineural hearing loss.

- sensorineural conduction. occurs when sound vibrations reach the inner ear via the oval window, structures of the inner ear receive the sound waves and relay them to auditory nerve for transmissin to the brain. audiologist. specializes in the measurement of hearing function and in the rehabilitation of persons with hearing impairments. audi.

- A combination of both is also seen as a mixed hearing loss. Each is discussed below. HEARING LOSS TYPES. Conductive Hearing Loss. Conductive hearing loss is caused by any condition or disease that impedes the conveyance of sound in its mechanical form through the middle ear cavity to the inner ear.

The Different Types of Hearing Loss Conductive hearing loss is caused by a mechanical problem along the route from noise in the environment to the inner ear. It could be a problem with one of the three small bones collectively called the ossicles (the stapes, malleus, and incus), or other parts of the ear that fail to conduct sound to the cochlea.

- Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) Hearing loss occurring in the inner ear or the hearing nerve. This hearing loss is usually permanent in nature. Sometimes a hearing aid is recommended, based upon the results of the hearing test.

- A conductive hearing loss can be the result of a blockage in the external ear canal or can be caused by any disorder that unfavorably effects the middle ear's ability to transmit the mechanical energy to the stapes footplate.

- Hearing Loss (Definition) Hearing loss, or hearing impairment, is a partial or total loss of the ability to hear and can affect one or both ears. Causes of hearing loss include noise, genetics, aging, infections, or trauma. Hearing loss may be temporary or permanent.

Hearing loss in adults Hearing loss in adults Conductive hearing loss. This type of loss is caused by a blockage in the outer or middle ear. Hearing aids will have to increase the loudness to force sound through this blockage to the inner ear and this may cause the sound to become distorted and unclear.

Types of hearing loss Symptoms. A hearing aid can be fit to help treat many different types of hearing loss. Because the sensitive inner ear and auditory nerve are intact, an individual suffering from conductive hearing loss primarily has difficulty with the overall loudness of sounds, but not the clarity.

Microtia 1 Grade I: A less than complete development of the external ear with identifiable structures and a small but present external ear canal. 2  Grade II: A partially developed ear (usually the top portion is underdeveloped) with a closed [stenotic] external ear canal producing a conductive hearing loss. Grade II: A partially developed ear (usually the top portion is underdeveloped) with a closed [stenotic] external ear canal producing a conductive hearing loss. 2  Grade III: Absence of the external ear with a small peanut-like vestige structure and an absence of the external ear canal and ear drum.

Types, Causes and Treatment Conductive Hearing Loss. Causes: Malformation of outer ear, ear canal, or middle ear structures. Fluid in the middle ear from colds. Ear infection (otitis media - an infection of the middle ear in which an accumulation of fluid may interfere with the movement of the eardrum and ossicles. Allergies.

otosclerosis If excessive bone growth interferes with the stapes ability to vibrate and transmit sound waves, hearing loss will result. Otosclerosis is classified as a conductive disorder because it involves the bones of the ear, which conduct the sound to the nerve.If a person has hearing loss classified as neural, the nerve conducting the impulses to the brain is involved.Otosclerosis is a common hereditary condition.eople with otosclerosis almost never become totally deaf, and will usually be able to hear with a hearing aid or with surgery plus a hearing aid. In older people, the tendency for additional hearing loss is diminished due to the hardening of the bones.

Nonsyndromic hearing loss Nonsyndromic hearing loss is a partial or total loss of hearing that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic hearing loss occurs with signs and symptoms affecting other parts of the body. Nonsyndromic hearing loss can be classified in several different ways.
