Otospongiosis
Otospongiosis, also called otosclerosis, is an ear condition in which abnormal bone growth occurs in the middle ear area, disrupting the transmission of sound and potentially affecting hearing progressively.
Common symptoms: gradual hearing loss, perception of ringing in the ears, and, at times, a sensation of unsteadiness.
When to see a doctor? When you notice that you are hearing progressively worse, that you need to turn up the volume, or that persistent noises appear in your ears.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the doctor who studies ear diseases and hearing disorders. When facing hearing loss that worsens over time, the most sensible step is to request an evaluation with this specialist.
