Common causes of conductive hearing loss include: 1  Cerumen (earwax) or foreign body in the external auditory canal. 2  Otitis externa, infection or irritation of the outer ear.  Exostoses, abnormal growth of bone within the ear canal.
Hearing loss can be âconductiveâ, âsensorineuralâ or mixed. Conductive hearing loss results from some gumming-up of the mechanisms, from wax build-up, broken eardrum and arthritis in the inner ear bones. Sensorineural hearing loss results from nerve damage. Early preventative measures can protect your hearing in both cases.
