Otosclerosis is a bone remodeling disorder of the human otic capsule that leads to progressive conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss as a consequence of stapes footplate fixation and cochlear bone resorption with endosteal involvement. The prevalence of clinical otosclerosis is 0.3–0.4% in the...
Otosclerosis is a complex and progressive disease of bone remodeling that affects the otic capsule of the human temporal bone, resulting primarily in a conductive hearing loss with a normal tympanic membrane. Family history, clinical assessment, and audiological evaluation are usually sufficient to esta...
Otosclerosis is a frequent condition which occurs exclusively in the human temporal bone. This peculiar disease affects mainly Caucasians and Indians and may cause conductive, mixed conductive-sensorineural or occasionally merely sensorineural hearing loss. Morphological investigations of the otosclerotic focus...
various forms of bone tissue surface damage were noted on the stapes head in all otosclerosis patients. Mild changes were evident in 90% of the samples, while small linear bone tissue
The stimulus was applied at frequencies ranging between 100 and 10 kHz. The main conclusion of this work is that the fenestral otosclerosis affects the motion of the stapes footplate, without changing significantly the umbo response.Materials Design and Applications...
