Middle ear problem: This means you have a middle ear (Tiny ear bones) problem probably due to infections. Your ENT Provider will explain in more detail and tell you what treatment he/she recommends! Good luck Dr Z

Hearing problem: air/bone gap is the difference between hearing through the air---or hearing through bone vibration the Gap is the difference between them. If there is a difference this indicates problems in your outer or middle ear. this could be wax,hole in ear drum,fluid behind the ear or damage to the bone structure of the ear. See your ear specialist ENT they will explain it in more detail
