Congenital malformation of ear ossicles - what does this mean
Congenital malformation of ear ossicles is a congenital disorder that occurs when the three tiny bones in the middle ear (the malleus, incus, and stapes) do not form properly or are missing. this can lead to hearing loss, balance problems, and other ear-related issues.
What happens during the disease - congenital malformation of ear ossicles
Congenital malformation of ear ossicles is a condition in which the ear ossicles, which are the three small bones in the middle ear, are malformed or absent. this results in a disruption of the normal conduction of sound from the outer ear to the inner ear, leading to a conductive hearing loss. in some cases, the malformation may also cause an obstruction of the eustachian tube, leading to a buildup of air pressure in the middle ear and further hearing loss.
