Otosclerosis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The otolaryngologist is the specialist who studies otosclerosis, an ear disorder in which abnormal bone growth around one of the small bones of the middle ear interferes with the transmission of sound. It usually develops gradually.
Common symptoms:
- Progressive hearing loss.
- Ringing or noises in the ear.
- At times, a feeling of dizziness.
When should you see a doctor? With hearing loss that progresses little by little or persistent ringing, it is wise to seek an evaluation. A professional evaluation of the ear helps identify the source of the problem and guide the appropriate follow-up.
