10. Later Life with Otosclerosis
It’s common for people to become hard of hearing as they get older and people with otosclerosis aren’t different from anyone else in this regard. Even those who have had a successful stapedectomy may need to use a hearing aid later in life.3BritishTinnitus. ‘Otosclerosis and Deafness.’ British Tinnitus Association, www.tinnitus.org.uk/otosclerosis.
If a person opts to use hearing aids to treat their otosclerosis symptoms, they can simply adjust the hearing aids to match their needs as they get older. Otosclerosis is not often associated with particular problems in old age.2NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/conditions/otosclerosis/.
