Examples of acquired conductive hearing loss

Closed ear

The ear canal may be fully or partially closed by a clot, earwax (cerumen), a pimple, by eczema, inflammation or a tumor.

Damaged eardrum

A very loud bang, or a hearty slap could damage the eardrum. You can also damage the eardrum by placing an object by pushing or by stabbing. If the eardrum is not agile enough or too mobile, also a problem arises. By example, scarring of the eardrum, the eardrum stiffer and less flexible. Also, a hole in the eardrum to ensure that we hear less.

Mechanical trauma

A traffic accident or a fall where the head has received a sharp blow can also cause hearing loss. Sometimes over the middle ear bones (hammer, anvil and stirrup) is damaged.

middle ear infection Middle ear infection (otitis media)

Middle Ear infections are very common in children. Even in adults with solid oral and nasal airways inflammation can occur. Medication, more synthesis or placing a tube than to offer solace. When a middle ear infection can cause chronic damage to the ossicles in the middle.
Dysfunction of the Eustachian tube

When the Eustachian tube is blocked, the pressure control before and behind the eardrum does not work optimally. This leads to reduced mobility of the eardrum and temporary hearing loss.

Otosclerosis

otosclerosis In a normally functioning ear, the stapes moves back and Fri. This movement moves the fluid in the cochlea. Growing stirrup this is called otosclerosis. This will lead to a diminished sense of hearing. In this condition, bone forms abnormally on the walls and bones of the middle ear.
 
The footplate of the stapes can not move freely and is stuck in the oval window. When the calcification spreading further to the round window, is called total calcification.
 
Because noise in total calcification hardly transported, there is a big loss. Because both windows (the oval and round) are closed, the pressure of the fluid in the cochlea difficult road and there is no transport of fluid impossible. This is precisely a condition for achieving any hearing experiences.
