Explain the difference between conductive and nerve deafness?

Conductive deafness is caused by the bones in the middle ear to pass on sound vibrations to the inner ear. Nerve deafness may be caused by a disease or some other event that injures the cochlear nerve.


Can conduction deafness result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve?

Yes the result from a lesion on the cochlear nerve is sensorineural deafness. The result from the fusion of the ossicles is conduction deafness.

What is the most common cause of sensorineural deafness?

The most common cause of sensorineural deafness is damage to the hair cells in the inner ear, often due to aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors. This type of hearing loss is permanent and typically irreversible.


What is sensorineural deafness?

Sensorineural deafness is decreased hearing or hearing loss that occurs from damage to the inner ear, the nerve that runs from the ear to the brain (auditory nerve), or the brain. Sensorineural deafness can be present at birth (congenital), or it can develop later in life (acquired) as a result of: Disease of the blood vessels (vascular disease) Immune disease Infections Injury Meniere's disease Multiple sclerosis Use of certain medicines Tumor In some cases, the cause is unknown.

What is condictive deafness?

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem conducting sound waves anywhere along the route through the outer ear, tympanic membrane (eardrum), or middle ear (ossicles). This type of hearing loss may occur in conjunction with sensorineural hearing loss or alone.
