• #1 What Is Otosclerosis? Symptoms & Diagnosis| NIDCD

  https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/otosclerosis

  Otosclerosis is most often caused when one of the bones in the middle ear, the stapes, becomes stuck in place. When this bone is unable to vibrate, sound is unable to travel through the ear and hearing becomes impaired (see illustration). […] Currently, there is no effective drug treatment for otosclerosis, although there is hope that continued bone-remodeling research could identify potential new therapies. Mild otosclerosis can be treated with a hearing aid that amplifies sound, but surgery is often required. In a procedure known as a stapedectomy, a surgeon inserts a prosthetic device into the middle ear to bypass the abnormal bone and permit sound waves to travel to the inner ear and restore hearing. […] It is important to discuss any surgical procedure with an ear specialist to clarify potential risks and limitations of the operation. For example, some hearing loss may persist after stapedectomy, and in rare cases, surgery can actually worsen hearing loss.

  https://entcenterutah.com/adult-care/otology-neurotology/otosclerosis/

  Otosclerosis is a disease that affects the bone of the ear. Often abnormal bone loss followed by abnormal bone growth occurs in certain areas of the ear. One of these areas is where the third hearing bone, known as the stapes, makes contact with the inner ear. As this abnormal bone growth occurs, there is a fixation of this bone. Normally the stapes vibrates freely like a piston to send the hearing signal into the inner ear. This fixation of the stapes causes a conductive hearing loss, as the sound is not conducted into the inner ear. Sometimes otosclerosis can cause, in addition to a conductive hearing loss, a sensorineural hearing loss as well. Otosclerosis often runs in families, however in many cases a patient may not have relatives with otosclerosis. Usually the hearing loss gradually occurs. In many cases it can affect both ears over time.

  Otosclerosis is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth in the middle ear, specifically involving the stapes bone. This abnormal bone growth interferes with the transmission of sound vibrations from the middle ear to the inner ear, resulting in conductive hearing loss. […] Otosclerosis primarily affects the middle ear by causing abnormal bone growth around the stapes bone, which can immobilize it and interfere with sound transmission to the inner ear. As a result, individuals with otosclerosis often experience conductive hearing loss, where sound is not effectively conducted from the outer or middle ear to the inner ear. […] While sensorineural hearing loss can coexist with conductive hearing loss in some cases, otosclerosis primarily causes conductive hearing loss rather than sensorineural hearing loss.
