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
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.
