Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis - How to prevent?

Otosclerosis - Diagnosis

On seeing the ENT doctor for hearing loss, you will have a hearing test done to determine the degree and pattern of hearing loss. If you have a conductive hearing loss (i.e. hearing loss pattern suggestive that it is due to stiffening of the middle ear bones) and otosclerosis is suspected, a CT scan will often be done to determine if you have this condition or not.
