Otosclerosis: All treatment options are offered for otosclerosis, from surgical correction to simply observe and monitor your hearing loss; treat your otosclerosis medically; or wear a hearing aid. The surgical procedure performed to correct otosclerosis is called a stapedectomy, which is an elective and outpatient procedure. You can return to work in seven to ten days depending upon your work requirements.

Otosclerosis: Besides doing nothing since it is not a life threatening condition, treatment is either with a hearing aid or with surgery called a stapedectomy. This is done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthetic and takes about 30 minutes, and is highly successful in improving hearing.
