Mixed hearing loss has elements of both conductive hearing loss and sensorineural hearing loss. This means there is damage to both the outer and inner ear. The outer ear cannot conduct sound properly to the inner ear, and the inner ear can't process the sound to be sent to the brain.
H90.72H90. 72 - Mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, unilateral, left ear, with unrestricted hearing on the contralateral side.
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound conduction is impeded through the external ear, the middle ear, or both. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is a problem within the cochlea or the neural pathway to the auditory cortex.Sep 15, 2003

Mixed hearing loss is caused by a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. Sometimes those hearing loss causes can be one in the same, such as with head trauma that affects multiple parts of the ear. However, they can also be caused by separate issues.
Conductive hearing loss occurs when something interferes with the transmission of sound from the outer and middle ear to the inner ear. Sensorineural hearing loss occurs from damage to the auditory nerve or to the hair cells in the inner ear.
Rinne and Weber tests are exams that test for hearing loss. They help determine whether you may have conductive or sensorineural hearing loss. This determination allows a doctor to come up with a treatment plan for your hearing changes. A Rinne test evaluates hearing loss by comparing air conduction to bone conduction.

Having sensorineural hearing loss means there is damage either to the tiny hair cells in your inner ear (known as stereocilia), or to the nerve pathways that lead from your inner ear to the brain. It normally affects both ears. Once you develop sensorineural hearing loss, you have it for the rest of your life.Oct 29, 2019
A conductive hearing loss happens when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear. It may be hard to hear soft sounds. Louder sounds may be muffled. Medicine or surgery can often fix this type of hearing loss.
