Understanding otosclerosis
Otosclerosis is a hereditary condition caused by abnormal bone remodelling in the middle ear. This abnormal growth disrupts the transmission of sound from the middle ear to the inner ear, leading to gradual hearing loss. It usually appears in people aged between 15 and 50.
It occurs when a small bone called the stapes becomes fixed in place and can no longer move freely to carry sound. Make an appointment with Dr. Gouda Ramesh for expert otosclerosis treatment in Hyderabad.

Causes & Diagnosis
Understanding the condition
Knowing the cause helps us choose the safest, most effective treatment for you.
The surgical procedure
- Stapedectomy removes the fixed stapes bone
- A prosthesis is placed to carry sound to the inner ear
- Performed on one ear at a time under local anaesthesia
- Hearing usually improves within about four months
Treatment options
- Hearing aids to amplify sound for milder cases
- Stapedectomy or stapedotomy for significant loss
- Personalised plan based on your hearing test
- Ongoing follow-up to monitor your hearing
Treatment
How otosclerosis is treated
For mild otosclerosis, hearing aids are often provided to amplify sound and improve day-to-day hearing.
For more significant hearing loss, a surgery called stapedectomy is performed: the surgeon inserts a tiny prosthetic device into the middle ear to create a new pathway for sound waves to reach the inner ear and restore hearing.
What to expect
- A full hearing assessment to confirm the diagnosis
- Hearing aids as a non-surgical option
- Stapedectomy under local anaesthesia, one ear at a time
- Gradual improvement in hearing over a few months
- Regular follow-up with your ENT specialist
