Abstract
In otosclerosis fixation of the stapes in the oval window impairs transmission of sound waves to the inner ear. Patients with a hearing loss of more than 30 decibels usually have difficulty in understanding quiet speech and may need help. Most deaf patients with otosclerosis can be helped by surgery or by a hearing aid.
