Stapedectomy is a microsurgical procedure performed to treat conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition where the stapes bone in the middle ear becomes fixed and unable to vibrate. During the procedure, the ENT surgeon removes the immobile stapes bone and replaces it with a small prosthetic implant, restoring the sound conduction pathway to the inner ear.
At Pristyn Care, Hyderabad, the procedure is performed using advanced microscopic techniques by experienced ENT surgeons. It is typically carried out under local or general anaesthesia and takes approximately one hour. Most patients notice gradual hearing improvement within three to six weeks as the ear heals post-surgery.
Stapedectomy is considered an effective treatment option for eligible patients with otosclerosis-related hearing loss. Early consultation with an ENT specialist helps determine candidacy and ensures timely intervention before hearing deteriorates further.
Our ENT specialists will primarily rule out the other diseases, disorders, medical conditions, and/or health problems that can cause the same symptoms as otosclerosis and malformed or abnormal stapes bone.
They use the advanced and latest diagnostic tests like audiogram [measure hearing sensitivity] and tympanogram [middle-ear sound conduction] to confirm the otosclerosis.
The stapedectomy procedure at Pristyn Care, Hyderabad is performed by skilled ENT surgeons using high-precision microscopic equipment. The surgeon accesses the middle ear through the ear canal, carefully removes the fixed stapes bone, and places a micro prosthesis to re-establish sound transmission to the cochlea.
Hearing improvement is gradual – most patients experience noticeable improvement within three to six weeks. Maximum hearing benefit is usually achieved within six months as the ear fully heals. In cases where partial improvement occurs, revision surgery may be considered by the treating specialist.

Yes, most insurance providers cover stapedectomy surgery as it is necessary for the treatment of hearing loss due to stapes damage or disorder. If you are unsure about the ENT surgeries covered in your insurance policy, you should consult your insurance provider.
A stapedectomy is performed under either general or local anesthesia and is usually not painful. The surgeon creates an incision to move the eardrum out of the way and access the damaged/degenerated stapes bone. The stapes is then disconnected from the incus bone, removed, and replaced with a prosthetic made of either metal or plastic. The incision is closed and the patient is sent to the recovery ward. The entire procedure takes about 90-120 minutes, and patients are usually discharged on the same day within a few hours of the surgery.
Stapedectomy is one of the safest and most effective treatments for otosclerosis, a degenerative condition that ossifies the stapes bone, hardening it and leading to hearing loss.
A stapedectomy implant can be made of a variety of materials such as Teflon memory effect, platinum and gold band, titanium-gold clip, or nickel-titanium alloy. Generally, the type of implant for the surgery is based on the surgeon’s experience and expertise with a specific type of prostheses, the surgical technique being used, the patient’s budget and preference, etc.
Normally, for most patients, faint hearing comes back within 1 week of the surgery, but it may take 2-4 weeks for there to be a noticeable improvement in their hearing. In 90% of the cases, this improved hearing function is permanent.
A stapedectomy is usually performed for otosclerosis, a genetic condition that leads to the hardening and fusing of the stapes bone. Additionally, it is also considered for patients who have a congenital stapes abnormality or a fracture of the stapes from a traumatic incident.
Stapedectomy is usually performed in outpatient surgery, i.e., there is no hospitalization required and most patients can rejoin work within 2-4 days of the procedure. You may have to wait a little longer if your work is physically straining.
