Otosclerosis |
| Definitions |
Otosclerosis cannot be seen on an office examination. The audiogram indicates a conductive type of hearing loss. Testing of the stapedial reflexes indicates limited or no movement of the bones of hearing. In otosclerosis, a callus of bone accumulates on the stapes creating a partial fixation. This limits the movement of the stapes bone, which results in hearing loss. |
