Otosclerosis is a condition that causes hearing loss due to a calcification
of the bones of the ear. These bones transmit sound as vibrations from the
ear drum to the inner ear. The inner ear usually works normally but the sound
does not get to it. One may hear something but not be able to understand it.
The bone usually causing the problem, the stapes, can be replaced in an
operation called stapedectomy done at the Shea Ear Clinic Surgery Center.
This operation was developed by Dr. John J. Shea, Jr. in 1956. Patients have
reported improved hearing in over 90% of these procedures performed at the
Shea Clinic.
