An individual visits an audiologist complaining of muffled hearing in one ear. The audiologist performs a test using a vibrating tuning fork. When the base of the tuning fork is placed on the bone directly behind the ear, the individual can hear the sound clearly. However, when the tuning fork is held in the air next to the ear canal, the sound is barely audible. Based on these results, what is the most likely explanation for the hearing impairment?
