Otosclerosis | Hearing Loss | Stapedectomy | Symptoms | Treatment | Malayalam | Dr. Vivek Sasindran

Dr. Vivek Sasindran, Consultant ENT, Head and Neck Surgeon Otosclerosis is a disorder that causes hearing loss, primarily in females. It starts in one ear and can progress to both ears. Symptoms may worsen during pregnancy. The condition involves the stapes bone becoming fixed, hindering sound waves from reaching the inner ear. Diagnosis is typically done through hearing tests and imaging. The main treatment is a delicate surgical procedure called Stapedectomy, where the fixed stapes bone is replaced with an artificial piston. The surgery has a high success rate in restoring normal hearing. Hearing aids are considered as an alternative for those who cannot undergo surgery or have an unsuccessful outcome. Stapedectomy remains the primary solution for otosclerosis.
