Top Specialty Definition: Otosclerosis (From Wikipedia , the free Encyclopedia) Otosclerosis is a hearing condition where the stapes in the ear becomes attached to the surrounding bone by a growth of abnormal bone. Sound transmission is progressively impaired so that hearing in the affected ear deteriorates. The condition can be cured by having a stapedectomy. This involves bypassing the stuck stapes by making a hole through it to the outer chamber of the inner ear and placing an artificial bone from the still moveable healthy hearing bones through the hole to the inner ear.

    Extractions: What Can I Expect After the Operation? What is Otosclerosis? Otosclerosis is an abnormal, microscopic growth of bone in the walls of the inner ear which causes the stapes bone commonly called the “stirrup” to become frozen in placed or “fixed”. Normally the stapes, the smallest bone in the body, vibrates freely to allow the transmission of sound into the inner ear. When it becomes fixed to the surrounding bone, it prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear fluids and hearing is impaired. In a normal ear, sound (which consists of vibrations of air molecules) is funneled by the auricle, or “outer ear”, through the ear canal to the eardrum. Movements of the eardrum are transferred to the ossicles, the small bones of the middle ear. The eardrum and ossicles act as an amplifier and transducer, changing sound into a mechanical energy. At the end of this chain, the stapes vibrates in and out of the oval window, a thin membrane between the air-filled middle ear and fluid-filled inner ear. The vibration of the stapes sets up a wave of movement of the inner ear fluids. This, in turn, stimulates the fine sense organs (the hair cells) of the inner ear, which then stimulate the auditory (hearing) nerve, which carries the sound energy to the brain. It is this sequence of events that results in normal hearing.

    Extractions: Paul F. Shea, M.D. You have a condition known as OTOSCLEROSIS. This hearing loss is due to a calcification of the bones of the ear. It is also known as "arthritis of the ear". You are unable to hear because there is an obstruction to the passage of sound into your ear. The hearing nerve is good, but sound cannot get to it. You hear something but not enough to understand. The bone which causes this obstruction is the STAPES or stirrup bone. It is one of the three small bones which carry sound from the eardrum to the nerve of hearing. The operation is done in the SHEA CLINIC Outpatient Surgery Center, and you may return to the Residence Inn next to the SHEA CLINIC, to your own motel or to your home as soon as you recover from the operation. Full activity can be resumed in a few days following operation. There is usually some pain and bleeding after the operation.

    Extractions: What is the ear like and how do we hear? The ear is divided into 3 parts - outer, middle and inner ear. Sound waves come into the outer (external) ear and hit the eardrum causing it to vibrate. The middle ear behind the eardrum is filled with air. Air comes from the back of the nose up a thin channel, the Eustachian tube. In the middle ear are three tiny bones (ossicles) - the malleus, incus and stapes. The sound vibrations pass from the eardrum to these middle ear bones. The bones then transmit the vibrations to the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea converts the vibrations to sound signals which are sent down the the ear nerve to the brain which we 'hear'. The semi-circular canals are also part of the inner ear. These contain a special fluid that moves around as we move into different positions. The movement of the fluid is sensed by tiny hairs in the semi-circular canals which send messages to the brain down the ear nerve to help maintain balance and posture. What happens in otosclerosis?

    Extractions: by Rachel Waits Hearing serves a very important function in our lives. Much of the time, it is taken for granted. We tend not to appreciate it, until it starts to fail. There are many disorders that can cause a difficulty in hearing and hearing loss. One such disorder is otosclerosis. This disorder deserves a significant amount of research. Not only because we are dependent on our sense of hearing, but because its effects are far reaching. So much so, that it is hard to comprehend how we could ever live without it. It has even been said that Beethoven had otosclerosis. Toward the end of his career, he could not even hear his own music (Goldstein, 1999). Its effects are devastating and are well worth studying. Otosclerosis is a middle-ear disorder. The hearing loss is usually conductive, affecting the bones in the middle ear that conduct sound to the inner ear. This conductive hearing loss is caused by the growth of a spongy bone-like tissue that prevents the ossicles (bones of the middle ear) from moving well. One of the first signs is a small growth of the tissue in the middle ear. This is often in front of the oval window, which separates the middle ear from the inner ear. This can begin in early childhood or adolescence. The tissue may grow rapidly and become hard. The bone tissue grows over the stapes ossicle attaching it to the oval window. At first, hearing loss occurs in the low frequencies. High frequencies are affected next, followed by the loss of hearing in the middle frequencies. Otosclerosis usually begins in one ear, but the other ear often develops it as well (Otosclerosis, 1998).

Cholestetoma Otosclerosis Eustachian Tube Problems Skull Base Tumors Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) Facial Nerve Problems ... Acoustic Neuromas (Tumors) Otosclerosis is defined as abnormal bone growth in the ear, eventually resulting in hearing loss. It can be an inherited disorder, resulting in abnormal hardening of bone in the middle ear and sometimes inner ear. In the middle ear, otosclerosis prevents the stapes, one of the bones in the middle ear, from vibrating correctly in response to sound waves. In the inner ear, cochlear otosclerosis causes reduced function of the hearing cells within the cochlear. Over time both physiological and anatomical changes occur, slowly leading to hearing loss. Otosclerosis is the most frequent cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults, affecting about 10% of the population of the United States. Otosclerosis usually affects both ears, and is most commonly seen in women and girls ages 15 to 30 years old. Risks factors include pregnancy, which may trigger its onset, and a family history of hearing loss and otosclerosis. Stapedial Otosclerosis Usually otosclerosis involves the stapes or stirruped-shaped (bone). The stapes bone is positioned in a small groove called the oval window and is in intimate contact with the inner ear fluids. As a result of the inability of the stapes bone to vibrate the inner ear fluid, a conductive hearing impairment occurs. This type of impairment is called stapedial otosclerosis and is usually correctable by surgery.

    Extractions: Otosclerosis Costa Apostolides, BSc, Med ‘99 Dalhousie University What is otosclerosis? Otosclerosis is a pathologic condition of the temporal bone in which normal bone is replaced by abnormal fibrous tissue or sclerotic bone. Foci of otosclerosis, which may be found anywhere in the temporal bone, gradually expand and coalesce. Fixation of the stapes occurs when the otosclerotic lesion involves the stapes footplate or its annular ligament, leading to conductive hearing loss. The lesion may spread to involve the cochlea and cause a sensorineural hearing loss. What instigates this osseous change and its mechanism is unknown. Epidemiology Females are affected twice as often as males. Histological evidence of otosclerosis is found in 6.4% of temporal bones in North Americans and Europeans, but only 0.3% develop clinical manifestations of a hearing loss. In a recent study of 543 patients who underwent surgery for otosclerosis, bilateral stapes fixation occurred in 70%, and a positive family history was present in about 50%. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. No association has been found with chromosome markers or with ABO or HLA antigens. The remaining cases occur sporadically, with autosomal recessive inheritance, spontaneous mutation, and nongenetic causes offered as putative mechanisms. Otosclerosis is rarely seen in patients under 5 years and it most often occurs between ages 30 and 49. In African Americans, otosclerosis appears in only 1% of temporal bones and it is rare in American Indians.

    Extractions: OTOSCLEROSIS Otosclerosis is a common cause of hearing impairment. (The word "otosclerosis" can be broken into its two roots: "oto" for ear, and "sclerosis" meaning hardening.) Approximately 5% of all people with hearing impairment have otosclerosis. The condition is hereditary. That is, members of a family pass the condition down to their children. Although otosclerosis is hereditary, the children of patients with otosclerosis will not necessarily develop the condition. Hearing Impairment from Otosclerosis There is no local treatment to the ear itself or any medication that will improve hearing in persons with otosclerosis. In some cases, medication might prevent further nerve hearing loss. A medication known as Florical (8.3mg sodium fluoride and 364mg of calcium carbonate) is sometimes prescribed to prevent further nerve hearing loss. This medication slows down the abnormal bone growth and can eventually stop the growth of otosclerosis. The optimal dosage of Florical is 1 capsule two times daily with meals. Ideally, this medication should be taken for two years. After two years, the hearing level, the degree of tinnitus, and the severity of imbalance are reevaluated. If these conditions have stabilized, the Florical may be discontinued or the dosage reduced. Florical should be avoided during pregnancy.

    Extractions: What is Otosclerosis? Otosclerosis is a condition of the middle ear which causes hearing loss that gets worse over time. Unlike hearing loss resulting from damage to the inner ear, the hearing loss from otosclerosis is often reversible. The name otosclerosis comes from the Greek words for "hard" ( scler-o ) "ear" ( oto ). This is because otosclerosis is a disorder which causes a hardening of the bones of the middle ear. To understand why otosclerosis causes hearing loss, it is important to understand how the ear works. The human ear is divided into three parts: the external, middle, and inner ear. The external ear consists of the part of the ear you can see (the auricle ) and the ear canal. The middle ear includes the eardrum ( tympanic membrane ) and the three bones of the middle ear, the malleus ("hammer"), incus ("anvil"), and the
