NANO Hearing Aids - a US-based supplier of over-the-counter (OTC) hearing devices - releases a new guide to the causes, symptoms, and treatment of conductive hearing loss.
—
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves are unable to travel efficiently through the outer portion of the ear canal to reach the eardrum and the small bones of the middle ear, explains the new guide. While the condition does not block all sound, hearing is significantly impaired with softer sounds harder to hear and even louder sounds lacking clarity.

The piece discusses some of the most common causes of conductive hearing loss, such as ear wax blockage, a build-up of fluid in the middle ear, and an ear infection. While diagnosis is commonly given by a hearing professional, NANO's range of OTC hearing aids can be purchased without a prescription with the devices specially designed to help those with perceived mild to moderate conductive hearing issues.
There are varying levels of hearing loss within the spectrum of conductive impairments which range from mild - struggling to hear whispers, distant conversations, or pick out sounds in a noisy environment - to moderate - manifesting as difficulty in hearing conversations amid high levels of background noise - and severe which affects the 56 to 70 dB range and means that only loud sounds or speech can be heard.
The guide goes on to explore other symptoms associated with the condition such as experiencing pressure or fullness in the ears, and discomfort - manifesting as pain, irritation, or itching sensations in the ears. These symptoms can be temporary or permanent.
In terms of treatment, antifungal medications or antibiotics can provide relief from conductive hearing loss caused by infections, reducing inflammation which allows sound to travel more freely through the ear canal. Fluid build-up may be treated with antihistamines, decongestants, or steroids while earwax blockages can be removed with ear drops or a cleaning procedure administered by a doctor or hearing specialist, says the guide.
While prescription devices such as air conduction, bone conduction, or bone-anchored hearing aids can be effective in restoring audio levels for sufferers, NANO's rechargeable, OTC products are becoming a popular option as they are more affordable and don't require a prescription. The company, however, cautions that OTC devices are only suitable for those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss.
