Authoritarian regimes are also sometimes subcategorized by whether they are personalistic or populist. Personalistic authoritarian regimes are characterized by arbitrary rule and authority exercised mainly through patronage networks and coercion rather than through institutitions and formal rules..
Common causes of conductive hearing loss include: 1  Cerumen (earwax) or foreign body in the external auditory canal. 2  Otitis externa, infection or irritation of the outer ear.  Exostoses, abnormal growth of bone within the ear canal.
If excessive bone growth interferes with the stapes ability to vibrate and transmit sound waves, hearing loss will result. Otosclerosis is classified as a conductive disorder because it involves the bones of the ear, which conduct the sound to the nerve.If a person has hearing loss classified as neural, the nerve conducting the impulses to the brain is involved.Otosclerosis is a common hereditary condition.eople with otosclerosis almost never become totally deaf, and will usually be able to hear with a hearing aid or with surgery plus a hearing aid. In older people, the tendency for additional hearing loss is diminished due to the hardening of the bones.
