What Is Otosclerosis & What Causes It?

Excessive bone tissue will often build up around the stapes which is a bone in the middle ear, which then cause the stapes to become fixed in place instead of vibrating as it would normally do when processing sound.

The person suffering from this disease will then experience conductive hearing loss if the nerve associated with hearing is also affected then sensorineural hearing loss will also occur. It is when both types of hearing loss come together in cases such as this that it is described as having mixed hearing loss.
