Sounds travel through the ear canal to the eardrum. The eardrum and three small middle-ear bones transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the brain.<\/p>\n<p>The chain of small bones in the middle ear is called the ossicles. The bone nearest the inner ear is the stapes. Otosclerosis is an abnormal growth of bone around the stapes that can restrict its movement and cause conductive hearing loss.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tOTOSCLEROSIS\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Otosclerosis can run in families, although having the condition does not necessarily mean a person&#8217;s children will develop it. It can also affect the hearing nerve. Treatment depends on the type and degree of hearing loss.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tSTAPEDECTOMY\t<\/h3>\n\t<p>Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure used to improve hearing in appropriate patients with otosclerosis. During surgery, the fixed stapes is removed and replaced with a prosthesis that transmits sound vibrations to the inner ear.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of hearing improvement depends in part on the condition of the hearing nerve. Some patients may achieve hearing within the normal range, while others may continue to benefit from a hearing aid after surgery.<\/p>\n<h3>\n\t\t\tRELATED EAR SERVICES &#038; EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES\t<\/h3>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tEAR &#038; HEARING\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Comprehensive evaluations and medical or surgical treatment for otologic conditions and hearing loss.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quickmedclinic.com\/lippy-group\/ear-hearing\/\" target=\"_self\">Explore Ear Care &raquo;<\/a>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tAUDIOLOGY &#038; BALANCE\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Specialized hearing evaluations, middle ear testing, and vestibular assessments in Warren, Ohio.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quickmedclinic.com\/lippy-group\/audiology-balance\/\" target=\"_self\">View Audiology Care &raquo;<\/a>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tVIDEOS FOR PATIENTS\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Educational video explanations to help patients understand otosclerosis, stapedectomy, and hearing health.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quickmedclinic.com\/lippy-group\/videos-for-patients\/\" target=\"_self\">Watch Patient Videos &raquo;<\/a>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tVIDEOS FOR PHYSICIANS\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Specialized surgical technique and clinical demonstration videos for physicians and medical students.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quickmedclinic.com\/lippy-group\/videos-for-physicians\/\" target=\"_self\">Watch Physician Videos &raquo;<\/a>\n<h4>\n\t\t\tCONTACT US\t<\/h4>\n\t<p>Schedule a consultation with our otology specialists regarding otosclerosis evaluation and surgery.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quickmedclinic.com\/lippy-group\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_self\">Contact Our Clinic &raquo;<\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Otosclerosis &#038; Stapedectomy Pioneering Stapedectomy Surgery &#038; Advanced Ear Care in Warren, Ohio Home \u00a0\u00bb\u00a0 Lippy Group ENT \u00a0\u00bb\u00a0 Otosclerosis &amp; Stapedectomy How We Hear The ear has three main parts: the external ear, the middle ear and the inner ear.
