<prompt> Which of the following conditions is associated with maximum hearing loss?Otitis media with effusionPaial fixation of the stapes footplateOssicular disruption with intact tympanic membraneDisruption of malleus and incus as well tympanic membrane  <response>: Maximum hearing loss occur when there is ossicular interruption with intact tympanic membrane 54dB. Ossicular interruption with perforation result in 38dB hearing loss, hearing loss in ottitis media with effusion averages about 26-30 dB. Paial or complete fixation of the stapes results in conductive hearing loss that ranges from 5dB to 60dB.
