Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative - what does this mean
Otosclerosis involving the oval window is a condition in which there is abnormal bone growth around the oval window, the opening between the middle and inner ear. this abnormal bone growth can restrict the movement of the oval window, leading to hearing loss. in nonobliterative otosclerosis, the bone growth does not completely block the oval window, allowing some movement and, in some cases, a partial recovery of hearing.
What happens during the disease - otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative
Otosclerosis involving the oval window is a condition in which there is new bone growth around the oval window of the inner ear. this new bone growth can cause the oval window to become stiff and unable to vibrate, leading to a decrease in sound transmission to the inner ear. the new bone growth is nonobliterative, meaning it does not completely block the oval window, but it still causes a decrease in sound transmission. this decrease in sound transmission can lead to hearing loss.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Hearing tests to assess hearing loss
- CT scan to visualize the middle ear structures
- MRI to assess the inner ear structures
- Audiometry to measure the hearing thresholds
- Tympanometry to assess middle ear pressure
- Otoscopy to visualize the external ear
- Stapedial reflex testing to assess stapes mobility
- Vestibular evoked myogenic potential testing to assess the vestibular system
- Vestibular testing to assess the balance system
- Blood tests to rule out other causes of hearing loss
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative.
- Administering a course of antibiotics to reduce inflammation and infection.
- Prescribing steroids to reduce inflammation and reduce fluid build-up.
- Performing a stapedectomy to replace the stapes bone with a prosthesis.
- Conducting a tympanoplasty to reconstruct the eardrum.
- Undergoing a round window plugging procedure to close off the oval window.
- Implanting a bone-anchored hearing aid to improve hearing.
- Using acoustic immittance testing to measure the transmission of sound through the ear.
8 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Otosclerosis involving oval window, nonobliterative - Prevention
The primary prevention of otosclerosis involving the oval window, nonobliterative, is to reduce the risk of exposure to risk factors such as smoking, poor nutrition, and excessive noise. additionally, it is important to maintain good overall health and to seek medical attention if symptoms of hearing loss or dizziness are present.
