Suffering from middle ear hearing loss ??

An ENT doctor or surgeon or healthcare provider who specializes in hearing can diagnose hearing loss or otosclerosis. The doctor may conduct hearing tests that measure hearing sensitivity and middle-ear sound conduction. Sometimes, imaging tests such as a CT scan are also used to diagnose otosclerosis. A patient will need a stapedectomy if he has otosclerosis.

Hearing aids and antibiotics may also patients suffering from conductive deafness if they want to avoid the surgical procedure. However, medications are only a temporary solution. For a better and long-term cure, a surgeon can remove the unusual growth on bone and insert a tiny implant. For cases where the condition is severe, the entire stapes bone is taken out and replaced with a small prosthesis. This procedure is called a Stapedectomy.
