Mixed, Central, and Functional Hearing Loss
... In every case of mixed hearing loss one should determine how much of the deficit is conductive and how much is sensorineural. The prognosis depends largely on this estimate . The best way to approximate the conductive and the sensorineural components of a hearing loss is to perform all possibl ...
