Fusion of the Ossicles treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Fusion of the ear bones, known medically as ankylosis of the middle ear ossicles, occurs when the small chain of bones that transmits sound loses its mobility due to a rigid union between them or with their surroundings. This interferes with the normal conduction of sound to the inner ear.

Common symptoms: The main sign is a progressive loss of hearing in one or both ears, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of a plugged ear.

When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when you notice that you hear less and less or you routinely turn up the volume in order to understand.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional suited to study this condition and advise on the options. If you notice changes in your hearing, scheduling an evaluation is the best decision.
