Otosclerosis is a progressive bone disorder of the middle ear in which the Stapes – the smallest bone in the human body-gradually becomes fixed. When the stapes can no longer vibrate, sound waves are blocked from reaching the inner ear, resulting in a conductive hearing loss. According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology, Otosclerosis affects roughly 0.3\u20130.4 % of adults worldwide and is twice as common in women as in men. Genetics, previous measles infection and hormonal changes (such as pregnancy) have all been linked to the disease.<\/p>\n
