Abstract(s)
The ear connects people to the outside world and contributes to sense of balance. However, a number of disorders can interrupt this perfect state, resulting in hearing impairment. Middle ear pathology, like myringosclerosis or otosclerosis is frequently seen and its early treatment is crucial to prevent others worst situations. The myringosclerosis is a formation of dense connective tissue in the eardrum, not usually associated with hearing loss. Otosclerosis is an abnormal growth of bone near the stapes and can result in conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss.
