Answer: Conducting hearing loss.

Explanation: When the passage of sound is blocked in the inner, middle ear or canal, it is referred to as conducting hearing loss.

When anatomical structures are damaged in the ear canal, outer or middle ear, it can result in blockage of the passage of sound. It can also be caused by accumulation of ear wax within the ear canal.

This makes it hard for sound to get to the inner ear. There is a problem transferring sound waves along the pathway all through the outer ear, tympanic membrane/eardrum or middle ear/ossicles.
