Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is a hearing condition where the stapes in the ear becomes
attached to the surrounding bone by a growth of abnormal bone. Sound
transmission is progressively impaired so that hearing in the affected ear
deteriorates.

The condition can be cured by having a stapedoctomy. This involves bypassing
the stuck stapes by making a hole through it to the outer chamber of the
inner ear and placing an artificial bone from the still moveable healthy
hearing bones through the hole to the inner ear.
