    AbstractOtosclerosis is a disorder presenting most commonly with unilateral conductive hearing loss. It can present as a mixed hearing loss also. Evaluation for otosclerosis relies on a specific history and physical examination, including tuning fork assessment and audiometric testing. Otosclerosis differs from other etiologies in that symptoms of imbalance are rare, and the ear most commonly appears normal on otoscopy.Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
