otosclerosis
Otosclerosis is a medical condition that affects the middle and inner ear, characterized by the abnormal growth of bone near the middle ear that can result in hearing loss. This growth often locks the stapes (the small bone in the ear that helps transmit sound) in place, impairing its function, leading to progressive deafness. The cause of otosclerosis is not well understood, but it may be hereditary or related to hormonal changes, such as pregnancy.
