Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss can be caused by conditions that block the transmission of sound, such as ear infections, fluid in the middle ear, earwax buildup, or abnormalities of the ear drum or ossicles.
