OTOSCLEROSIS

Otosclerosis has to do with the three small bones in the middle ear, more specifically the stapes. A part of the bone will grow abnormally, which causes hearing loss. This bone growth will prevent the stapes from vibrating normally in response to sound. In its early stages, the sufferer will not be affected. Both ears may be affected but it is more common for one ear to be more severely affected than the other.

ACOUSTIC NEUROMA

What is an Acostic Neuroma?An acoustic neuroma is a slow-growing tumor of the nerve that connects the ear to the brain. This nerve is called the vestibular cochlear nerve. It is behind the ear right under the brain. An acoustic neuroma is not cancerous (benign). This means that it does not spread to other parts of the body. However, it can damage several important nerves as it grows.

SYMPTOMSThe symptoms vary based on the size and location of the tumor. Common symptoms include: Abnormal feeling of movement

(vertigo) Hearing loss in the affected ear Ringing (tinnitus)

Less common symptoms include: Difficulty understanding speech Dizziness Headach Loss of balance Numbness in the face or one

ear Pain in the face or one ear Weakness of the face

INTERESTING:

Acoustic neuromas have been linked with the genetic disorder neurofibromat

osis type 2 (NF2).

TREATMENTSTreatment depends on the size and location of the tumor, your age, and your overall health. You and your health care provider must decide whether to watch the tumor (observation), use radiation to stop it from growing, or try to remove it. Many acoustic neuromas are small and grow very slowly. Small tumors with few or no symptoms may be watched for changes, especially in older patients. Regular MRI scans will be done.

If they are not treated, some acoustic neuromas can damage the nerves involved in hearing and balance. Removing an acoustic neuroma is more commonly done for: Surgery
