Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound cannot efficiently travel through the outer or middle ear. It is often temporary and treatable, depending on the underlying cause.
Symptoms include muffled or faint sounds, a feeling of fullness in the ear, ear pain, or drainage. In many cases, people may struggle to hear low-volume sounds clearly.
Common causes include earwax buildup, ear infections, fluid in the middle ear, perforated eardrum, or abnormalities in the ear bones. Most of these issues are medically treatable.
Yes, excessive earwax can block the ear canal and prevent sound from passing through, leading to temporary conductive hearing loss. Removal by a professional can restore normal hearing.
Treatment depends on the cause. Options may include earwax removal, medications, surgery (in some cases), or using hearing aids if the issue is chronic or not fully reversible.
