6. Surgery and Otosclerosis

If a person can’t or doesn’t want to use hearing aids or is worried about the otosclerosis progressing, surgery is another option. A stapedectomy involves removing some of the bone and placing an implant that allows sound to travel through the remaining bone and into the inner ear.

The surgery is usually successful, and can allow those with otosclerosis to hear without the use of a hearing aid and can sometimes keep otosclerosis from getting worse.2NHS Choices, NHS, www.nhs.uk/conditions/otosclerosis/.
