    Unexplained conductive hearing loss cases show normal inner ears but intact ossicular chains. Further investigation is needed to understand this audiological puzzle.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Describes a series of unusual clinical cases presenting with unexplained conductive hearing loss.
    • Patients exhibit mild to moderate conductive or mixed-type hearing loss with good word discrimination (80-100%).

    Observation:

    • Otologic evaluations supported audiometric findings.
    • Polytome roentgenograms revealed a normal inner ear system.
    • Exploratory tympanotomy showed an intact ossicular chain.

    Findings:

    • The malleus and incus were mobile after separating the incudostapedial joint.
    • Palpation of the stapes elicited good round window reflexes.
    • Common clinical impressions like malleus fixation or stapes fixation were ruled out.

    Implications:

    • Challenges conventional understanding of conductive hearing loss etiology.
    • Suggests novel pathological mechanisms may underlie these audiological findings.
    • Highlights the need for further research into the causes of unexplained conductive hearing loss.
