There are several types of conductive hearing loss.
Some types of conductive hearing loss can be corrected with
hearing aids. If the Corti organ in the cochlea functions normally, hearing aids can help transmit sound in in the outer or middle ear.
Other types of conductive hearing loss can be treated medically or surgically.
However, medical procedures may not fully reverse the conductive loss. Therefore, people with conductive hearing loss can often benefit from a
hearing aid.
