    This document outlines the causes and progression of conductive hearing loss. It shows how trauma or obstruction in the outer or middle ear can lead to infection, inflammation, pus or fluid buildup in the middle ear, increasing pressure on the tympanic membrane and preventing sound waves from properly reaching the cochlea, resulting in conductive hearing loss.
