Otosclerosis Testimonial - Dr. Sperling

Dr. Sperling has helped countless patients concur hearing problems, including otosclerosis. Here, we hear firsthand how he has changed a patient's life for the better.
Otosclerosis is a problem that causes stiffening of the joints between the little hearing bones (ossicles) in the middle ear. This serves to muffle sound as it goes from the ear drum, through the ossicles to the inner ear. It usually develops when you’re in the 20s and can cause a significant hearing loss. Otosclerosis is readily treated with surgery to replace these bones (stapedectomy) or with hearing aids.
Usually the diagnosis becomes clearer as time passes, and with careful examinations. If it worsens, surgery or hearing aids are considered.

Is there anyone (anywhere in the world) working on alternatives to surgery? I have otosclerosis in my right ear and I want to join the military. The surgery is not a viable option for me.
