Understanding Otosclerosis and Hearing Loss
Otosclerosis is a condition characterized by abnormal bone remodeling in the middle ear, specifically affecting the stapes bone. This prevents the bone from vibrating correctly, leading to progressive conductive hearing loss. Patients often describe a sensation of muffled sound or persistent tinnitus, which significantly impacts their quality of life.

Under high-powered magnification, Dr. Dhirendra Singh Kushwah performs this delicate surgery to create a small opening in the footplate of the stapes, inserting a tiny prosthesis to restore the transmission of sound vibrations to the inner ear.
