Ear Otosclerosis Surgery Treatment in India

Otosclerosis is an abnormal bone growth in the middle ear that causes hearing loss.

Causes of Otosclerosis

The cause of otosclerosis is unknown. However there is some evidence that it may be passed down through families. Growth prevents the ear bones from vibrating in response to sound waves. Such vibrations are needed in order for you to hear.

Otosclerosis is the most common cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults. It typically begins in early to mid-adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. The condition may affect one or both ears.

Risks for this condition include pregnancy and a family history of hearing loss.

Symptoms of Otosclerosis

• Hearing loss (slow at first, but gets worse over time)
• Vertigo or dizziness
• Ringing in the ears(tinnitus)
  
  
  
  Treatment of Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis may slowly get worse. The condition may not need to be treated until you have significant hearing problems.

Medications such as fluoride, calcium, or vitamin D may help to slow the hearing loss, but the benefits have not yet been proved.

Surgery to remove part of the ear (stapes) and replace it with a posthesis can cure conductive hearing loss. A total replacement is called a stapedectomy. Sometimes only part of the stapes is removed and a small hole is made in the bottom of it. This is called a stapedotomy.
