2.Still, my hearing loss did not occur during pregnancy, and after a battery of tests, doctors scratched otosclerosis from the list of possible causes. 3.That's because otosclerosis is a disease that affects the bone that surrounds the stapes. ...
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...
Otosclerosisis 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 ...
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...
