Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves cannot effectively reach the inner ear, often due to problems with the outer or middle ear. This can be caused by ear infections, blockages, or damage to the eardrum or middle ear bones. Sensorineural hearing loss, on the other hand, occurs when there is damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. Innate and bichromal hearing loss are not recognized medical terms.
