Otosclerosis - A Hidden Cause of Hearing Loss!

Gradual hearing loss may not always be due to age or infection.

What Is Otosclerosis?

Otosclerosis is a condition where abnormal bone growth occurs in the middle ear.
This affects the stapes bone, which is responsible for transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear.
When this bone becomes fixed, sound cannot travel normally.

Common Symptoms:

• Gradual hearing loss (often in young adults)
• Difficulty hearing low sounds
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
• Sometimes hearing better in noisy places

Symptoms usually develop slowly over time.

Who Is at Risk?

Otosclerosis is more common in:

• Adults between 20–40 years
• Women more than men
• People with a family history
• Symptoms may worsen during pregnancy

How Is It Diagnosed?

ENT evaluation usually includes:

• Ear examination
• Hearing test (Audiometry)
• Sometimes CT scan of the ear

Early diagnosis helps guide the right treatment.

Treatment Options:

Treatment depends on severity:

• Hearing aids to improve hearing
• Surgery (Stapedotomy / Stapedectomy) to restore sound transmission

Many patients experience significant hearing improvement after treatment.

ENT Specialist Advice:

Seek medical advice if you notice:

• Gradual hearing loss
• Ringing in the ears
• Difficulty hearing conversations

Early evaluation can help restore hearing and improve quality of life.

Consult your ENT specialist for proper diagnosis.

Mouth Breathing: Why It’s Harmful
It’s not just a habit. It can affect your.....

• Sleep quality
• Facial growth in children
• Oral health
• Oxygen efficiency
• Overall well-being

What Is Mouth Breathing?
Breathing through the mouth instead of the nose, especially during sleep.

It may happen due to:

• Chronic nasal blockage
• Allergies
• Enlarged adenoids
• Deviated nasal septum
• Sinus issues

The Nose Has Important Functions:

Nasal breathing:

• Filters dust & germs
• Warms the air
• Moisturizes inhaled air
• Produces nitric oxide (supports oxygen delivery & immunity)

Mouth breathing bypasses these protective mechanisms.

Poor Sleep Quality:

Mouth breathing can lead to:

• Snoring
• Dry mouth
• Frequent night awakenings
• Fatigue during the day
• Increased risk of sleep-disordered breathing

Effects in Children:

Chronic mouth breathing in kids may cause:

• Altered facial growth (“long face” pattern)
• Dental crowding
• Open bite
• Speech issues
• Poor concentration

Early evaluation is important.

Effects in Adults:

• Chronic dry throat
• Bad breath
• Gum problems
• Increased throat infections
• Reduced exercise tolerance

Common Underlying Causes:

Persistent mouth breathing is often due to:

• Allergic rhinitis
• Chronic sinusitis
• Enlarged adenoids (children)
• Nasal polyps
• Deviated septum

Identifying the cause is key.

When to See an ENT Specialist:

Consult if you notice:

• Habitual mouth breathing
• Snoring
• Daytime fatigue
• Chronic nasal blockage
• Child with open-mouth posture

Proper evaluation can prevent long-term complications.

Breathe the Right Way. Breathe Through Your Nose.
If mouth breathing is persistent, don’t ignore it.
