What Is Conductive Hearing Loss?
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves cannot move efficiently through the outer or middle ear to reach the inner ear. This type of hearing loss is often caused by blockages or problems with the ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear bones. Common causes of conductive hearing loss include ear infections, fluid in the middle ear, earwax buildup, or damage to the eardrum. At JSL Hearing in Miramar Beach, FL, we help patients understand the difference between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss and provide information about treatment options based on the underlying cause.
How Is Conductive Hearing Loss Treated?
One of the key differences between conductive and sensorineural hearing loss is that conductive hearing loss is often temporary and may be treatable with medical intervention. Treatments may include ear wax removal, medication for infections, or minor procedures to address structural issues. In some cases, hearing aids may also be recommended to improve sound clarity. Our team at JSL Hearing takes time to explain the treatment process and answer questions, helping patients feel confident in their care.
What Are the Symptoms of Conductive Hearing Loss?
Learning to recognize hearing loss symptoms can help you seek care before the problem worsens. Common signs of conductive hearing impairment include:
- A feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear
- Muffled or softer sounds
- Trouble hearing conversations, especially in quiet settings
- Ear pain or drainage (if caused by infection)
- A noticeable difference in hearing between the two ears
