Conductive
• If your hearing loss is conductive in nature, there is some damage or issue in your outer or middle ear. This means that the issue lies in the visible portion of your ear, outer ear canal, ear drum, the space just behind your ear drum, or a combination of these locations.
• Loudness will be an issue for persons with this kind of loss. Sounds may appear muffled or softer than typical. They may complain that their ears feel stopped up or plugged.
Sensorineural
• If your hearing loss is sensorineural in nature, there is some damage or issue in your inner ear, hearing nerve, or a combination of the two.
• Understanding will be an issue for persons with this kind of loss. They may complain that everyone else mumbles, no one speaks clearly, or that everyone talks too fast. They may note that they "hear", but just don't understand what you said.
