Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction deafness is caused by a problem in the conduction of sound waves through the outer and middle ear, resulting in a reduced ability to hear. This can be due to blockages in the ear canal, damage to the eardrum, or problems with the three tiny bones of the middle ear (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear. Nerve deafness, on the other hand, occurs due to damage to the hearing nerve or the hair cells in the cochlea of the inner ear.
