Disease Features conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side
Absence or low individual and public risk
Conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side - what does this mean
Conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side, occurs when there is an obstruction or disruption in the transmission of sound from the outer ear to the inner ear, resulting in reduced sound intensity on the affected side. this can be caused by a range of conditions, such as infection, fluid accumulation, or a physical blockage in the ear canal.
What happens during the disease - conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side
Conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side is caused by a disruption of the conduction of sound waves through the outer and middle ear due to a physical obstruction, such as a buildup of earwax, fluid in the middle ear, or a perforated eardrum. this obstruction prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear, resulting in a hearing loss.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Conduct a physical examination and review of medical history.
- Perform a pure tone audiometry test.
- Perform an impedance audiometry test.
- Conduct an auditory brainstem response (ABR) test.
- Perform a tympanometry test.
- Conduct a speech recognition test.
- Perform an otoacoustic emission (OAE) test.
- Order a computed tomography (CT) scan.
- Order a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To improve hearing in the affected ear.
- Administer a hearing test to determine the degree of hearing loss.
- Prescribe a hearing aid to amplify sound in the affected ear.
- Perform a cochlear implant surgery to stimulate the auditory nerve.
- Provide hearing therapy to help the patient adjust to the hearing aid.
- Educate the patient on how to care for their hearing aid.
- Monitor the patient's progress over time.
10 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side - Prevention
The primary prevention of conductive hearing loss, unilateral with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side, is to avoid exposure to loud noises, as well as to wear protective ear gear when in loud environments. additionally, regular ear cleaning and avoiding ear trauma can help to reduce the risk of developing this condition.
