How does conductive deafness differ from nerve deafness?
What will be an ideal response?
Conductive deafness results from conditions in the middle ear that block the normal transfer of vibration from the tympanic membrane to the oval window, such as a blockage of the external auditory canal or rupture of the tympanum. Nerve deafness, however, lies along the auditory pathway or in the cochlea. The impulses reach the oval window, but either the receptors cannot respond or else their responses cannot reach their central destinations, preventing the perception of sounds.
