Ear Otosclerosis Assessment & Surgery

Otosclerosis is a condition in which there is an abnormal bone growth inside the ear. It is one of the most common cause of hearing loss in young adults. There are 3 tiny bones deep inside the ear that vibrate when sound waves enters the ear. They transmit sound waves to the cochlea(inner ear),which converts them into signals that are sent to the brain. In otosclerosis, the stapes (“stirrup” bone) begins to fuse with the surrounding bone, eventually becoming fixed so it cannot move. This means the sound is no longer transmitted into the inner ear efficiently.

Ear Cholesteatoma Surgery

A cholesteatoma is an abnormal collection of skin cells deep inside your ear.They are rare but, if left untreated, they can damage the delicate structures inside your ear that are essential for hearing and balance. A cholesteatoma can also lead to an ear infection causing discharge from the ear, hearing loss(this can be permanent),vertigo(the sensation that you, or the world around you, is spinning),tinnitus(hearing sounds coming from inside the body, rather than from an outside source),damage to your facial nerve this can cause weakness in half your face. In very rare cases, an infection can spread into the inner ear and brain, leading to a brain abscess or meningitis.
