Question

question 7 (2 points) what type of hearing loss results when the ear is blocked by ear wax? a) mixed hearing loss b) sensorineural damage c) conductive hearing loss d) no hearing loss

Explanation:

Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem in the outer or middle ear that blocks the transmission of sound waves to the inner ear. Ear - wax blocking the ear is an outer - ear issue that impedes sound conduction. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of conductive and sensorineural. Sensorineural damage involves the inner ear or auditory nerve. And ear - wax blockage does cause hearing loss.

Answer:

C. Conductive hearing loss
