Scott's bone conduction and air conduction test results revealed a significant air-bone gap for the right ear.What may be producing this air-bone gap?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of middle ear disease, such as fluid buildup, can cause an air-bone gap. This means that sound is not being transmitted effectively from the outer to the inner ear. The overgrowth of the mastoid bone may cause conductive hearing loss, but it would not necessarily result in an air-bone gap. Sensorineural loss and lesions of the auditory nerve do not cause air-bone gaps, as they affect the inner ear and nerve pathways, rather than the transmission of sound waves through the middle ear.
