A member asked:
Stapedectomy 8y ago w/ great results. now left ear's plugged 1 month after cold, audiogram 50 db in low freq (january were 10). is otosclerosis back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I'm assuming the issues are with the operated ear, not the other ear. If the hearing decreased fairly rapidly with a cold and still feels plugged, and if your hearing loss is a conductive one (should be able to tell on audiogram), then it's likely fluid under the eardrum. If your ENT does not see any fluid, there could be a problem with the prosthesis having separated/eroded through the incus.
