Conductive Hearing Loss
Captions available
The idea
Conductive hearing loss results from damage to the outer or middle ear that prevents sound from reaching the cochlea.
In practice
Fluid behind the eardrum muffles all frequencies while the inner ear remains fully functional.
Where people slip
Conductive loss is often treatable or correctable. The transduction machinery is intact behind it.
