An audiogram demonstrated a right maximal
conductive loss and a Carhart notch.
Such differences, smaller than those obtained in the present study, were expected in view of the fact that adolescents or children with hearing loss respond better in tonal audiometry [15] when compared to young children with
conductive loss.
Also, the high occurrence of
conductive loss is noted in children and adults group.
A proforma was used to collect the data such as age, gender, perforation size and location,
conductive loss present or absent, surgical approach, technique, post surgical results and complications.
The most important input variables are
conductive loss, sensorineural loss and age.
On the other hand, the
conductive loss will be relatively large compared to the dielectric loss, so its influence on the transmission loss will increase.
Conductive loss occurs when sound does not travel properly from the outside world to the inner ear.
20 and 30 wt%), the main variable affecting the loss factor may be explained by the
conductive loss related to the first term (i.e.
The chapters on thermal transmission and solar heat, taken together, deal properly with what is often oversimplified, and correctly make the case for the effective U-value as an appropriate thermal performance indicator (in which solar gain can be used to compensate for
conductive loss).
It generally appears as a
conductive loss in the late teens or twenties due to problems with the small bones in the middle ear.
