Cochlear otosclerosis - what does this mean
Cochlear otosclerosis is a disorder of the middle ear bones caused by abnormal bone growth. it occurs when the stapes bone, which is responsible for transmitting sound from the inner ear to the cochlea, becomes fixed due to abnormal bone growth. this prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear, resulting in hearing loss.
What happens during the disease - cochlear otosclerosis
Cochlear otosclerosis is a disorder of the inner ear caused by abnormal bone growth in the otic capsule of the cochlea. this abnormal growth of bone can cause a decrease in hearing sensitivity and can lead to hearing loss. the exact cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. it is also thought that an autoimmune response may be involved in the development of the disorder.
