Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis or otospongiosis is an abnormal growth of bone near the middle ear. It can result in hearing loss. The term otosclerosis is somewhat of a misnomer. Much of the clinical course is characterised by lucent rather than sclerotic bony changes, hence it is also known as otospongiosis.
