    http://www.michiganear.com/library/brochures/otosclerosis/
    
    Extractions: OTOSCLEROSIS Your hearing impairment is caused by otosclerosis, a disease of the middle ear bones. Otosclerosis is a common cause of hearing impairment and is hereditary. Someone in earlier generations of your family had the condition and passed it down to you. Similarly, your descendants may inherit this tendency from you, although the hearing impairment may not manifest itself for a generation or two. Being hereditary, diseases such as scarlet fever, ear infection, measles and influenza have no relationship to the development of otosclerosis. FUNCTION OF THE NORMAL EAR The ear is divided into three parts: the external ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. The external ear collects sound, the middle ear mechanism transforms the sound and the inner ear receives and transmits the sound. Sound vibrations enter the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. Movements of the eardrum are transmitted across the middle ear to the inner ear fluids by three small ear bones. These middle ear bones (hammer or malleus, anvil or incus and stirrup or stapes) act as a transformer changing sound vibrations in air into fluid waves in the inner ear. The fluid waves stimulate delicate nerve endings in the hearing canals. Electrical impulses are transmitted on the nerve to the brain where they are interpreted as understandable sound. TYPES OF HEARING IMPAIRMENT The external ear and the middle ear conduct sound; the inner ear receives it. If there is some difficulty in the external or middle ear, a conductive hearing impairment occurs. If the trouble lies in the inner ear, a sensorineural or nerve hearing impairment is the result. When there is difficulty in both the middle and the inner ear a mixed or combined impairment exists. Mixed impairments are common in otosclerosis.

    Extractions: What is otosclerosis? The term otosclerosis is derived from the Greek words for "hard" ( scler-o ) and "ear" ( oto ). It describes a condition of abnormal growth in the tiny bones of the middle ear, which leads to a fixation of the stapes bone. The stapes bone must move freely for the ear to work properly and hear well. Hearing is a complex process. In a normal ear, sound vibrations are funneled by the outer ear into the ear canal where they hit the ear drum. These vibrations cause movement of the ear drum that transfers to the three small bones of the middle ear, the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). When the stapes bone moves, it sets the inner ear fluids in motion, which, in turn, start the process to stimulate the auditory (hearing) nerve. The hearing nerve then carries sound energy to the brain, resulting in hearing of sound. When any part of this process is compromised, hearing is impaired. Who gets otosclerosis and why?

    otosclerosis Stapes Surgery. otosclerosis is a disease of bone affecting the ear. otosclerosis need not be treated if very mild.  
    http://www.nycornell.org/ent/otosclerosis.html
    
    Extractions: Otosclerosis is a disease of bone affecting the ear. Normally, sound, a vibration of air molecules, is transmitted to the tympanic membrane, or eardrum. The drum vibrates as do the three bones of hearing, the malleus, incus and stapes. These three bones are suspended in the middle ear and are connected like a chain to the vibrating tympanic membrane. At the other end of the chain, the vibrations are transmitted to the inner ear by the last vibrating bone, the stapes. The inner ear or cochlea has nerve endings that transmit the sound to the brain. Abnormal bone deposition by otosclerosis near the stapes bone keeps it from vibrating and therefore a hearing loss occurs. Nerve hearing loss, affecting the inner ear can also occur, but is much less common. Otosclerosis need not be treated if very mild. If a hearing loss occurs, however, it can often be treated with the use of a hearing aid, or by surgery on the stapes bone. Stapedotomy or stapedectomy surgery involves removing a part or all of the base of the stapes bone and replacing it with a microprosthesis. Surgery on the base of the stapes is now performed with a laser, that can most safely open the base of the stapes that minimzes any trauma to the delicate inner ear structures beneath. This elective surgery is done through the ear canal and takes 1-2 hours to perform. The success rates of this surgery are excellent, and the risks to surgery are low.

    Extractions: Background Normal Ear Function Type of Hearing Impairment Hearing Impairment from Otosclerosis ... General Comments Otosclerosis is a common cause of hearing impairment and is hereditary. About 10% of adults have otosclerosis, but in only about 10% of these (or 1% of the adult population) does the otosclerosis involve the stapes (stirrup) bone where it can be detected by its interference with hearing. When otosclerosis is present in other places in the middle ear, it causes no symptoms. The disorder can be passed down from one generation to another, perhaps not manifesting itself for several generations. Since the condition is hereditary, diseases such as scarlet fever, ear infections, measles, and influenza have no relationship to its development. Top The ear is divided into three parts: the external ear , the middle ear , and the inner ear . The external ear collects sound, the middle ear increases the sound pressure and transmits the sound to the inner ear which transforms the sound into nerve impulses. Sound waves normally pass through the ear canal and cause the ear drum to vibrate. Movements of this membrane are transmitted to the inner ear by three small bones: the malleus (hammer), the incus (anvil), and the stapes (stirrup). In the inner ear, the vibrations stimulate hair cells. These hair cells transform the vibrations into electrical impulses that are carried by the hearing nerve to the brain where they are interpreted as sound.

    otosclerosis. Definition. otosclerosis is an excessive growth in the bones of the middle ear which interferes with the transmission of sound.  
    http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/otosclerosis.html
    
    Extractions: Definition Otosclerosis is an excessive growth in the bones of the middle ear which interferes with the transmission of sound. Description The middle ear consists of the eardrum and a chamber which contains three bones called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup (or stapes). Sound waves passing through the ear cause the ear drum to vibrate. This vibration is transmitted to the inner ear by the three bones. In the inner ear, the vibrations are changed into impulses which are carried by the nerves, to the brain. If excessive bone growth interferes with the stapes ability to vibrate and transmit sound waves, hearing loss will result. Otosclerosis is classified as a conductive disorder because it involves the bones of the ear, which conduct the sound to the nerve. If a person has hearing loss classified as neural, the nerve conducting the impulses to the brain is involved. Otosclerosis is a common hereditary condition. About 10% of the caucasion population has some form of otosclerosis, however, it is rare among other ethnic backgrounds. Women are more likely than men to suffer from otosclerosis. It is the most common cause of conductive hearing loss between the ages of 15-50, but if the bony growth affects only the hammer or anvil, there are no symptoms and the condition goes undetected. Disease affecting the stapes is also associated with progressive hearing loss. Causes and symptoms Otosclerosis is hereditary. Acquired illness and accidents have no relationship to its development.

    Extractions: Otosclerosis is a hereditary disease that produces an abnormal growth of spongy bone in the temporal bone surrounding the middle ear. The bone growth immobilizes the stapes and prevents it from efficiently transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear. This condition may be corrected by means of a surgical procedure called a stapedectomy When otosclerosis spreads to the cochlea, nerve function is disrupted and a permanent sensorineural hearing loss may result.

Other characters Otosclerosis, osteodystrophic disease of the labyrinthine capsule. The osteosclerotic foci may be single or multiple. Histologically the osteosclerotic foci arise in the endochondral layer of the labyrinthine capsule. These foci correspond to spongy irregular bone with numerous blood vessels, osteoblasts and osteoclasts, hence the more appropriate term otospongiosis. These spongy foci tend to recalcify, becoming more dense and relatively avascular and acellular. There appears to be a hereditary factor in the aetiology. It usually begins in young adults, typically without a previous history of ear disease, as a gradually progressive conductive hearing loss or a mixed conductive and sensorineural hearing loss . It is commonly a symmetrical disease, though patients do not always have symptoms in both ears. Two major categories are distinguished, fenestral and retrofenestral. Fenestral otosclerosis This is the most common form of otosclerosis, involving a focus in the labyrinthine capsule just anterior to the oval window. It tends to extend posteriorly, fixing the stapes footplate and sometimes invading and thickening the footplate. The stapes footplate fixation causes conductive hearing loss. CT shows this otosclerotic focus as a lucent area just anterior to the stapes footplate (
