Otolaryngology Questions Hearing loss

Can conductive hearing loss be corrected?

I was just diagnosed with conductive hearing loss, and I'm now using a hearing aid. Is it possible for this type of hearing loss to be reversed?

Sometimes a conductive hearing loss can be corrected surgically, depending on the reason for the conductive loss. All conductive hearing losses should be evaluated by an ENT physician for possible medical intervention prior to being fit with a hearing aid.    Angela R.

Hi there! Conductive hearing loss can sometimes be surgically corrected. It depends on what issue is causing the loss to begin with. An experienced otologist would be able to give you best recommendations as to whether or not surgery should be an option.
Conductive hearing loss occurs in the outer or middle ear where sound waves are not able to carry all the way through to the inner ear. Yes, it is possible for conductive hearing loss to be reversed through medical or surgical intervention.
