  • Otosclerosis

    Ear internals
    According to the specialist that I saw January 6, 2006 I’ve got this as the problem in my right ear hearing loss. He said it can be surgically fixed or I get a hearing aid.

    Considering I want to SCUBA dive, he said surgery may not be the short term option and there is no harm in waiting anyhow. And I’d like a cranial MRI scan before doing it. Maybe I’ll try flouride for it as well? Some articles say it works. The inner ear bones are very small, the stapes is less than 3 mm. The cause of otosclerosis is the stapes not moving due to calcium buildup limiting its motion.

    Wikipedia article on otosclerosis here and on stapedectomy here.

    Plextor PX-740A – Printer Friendly version

    There is techy deep information on everything on the Internet. I’ve got a new Plextor drive and won’t buy a LG or similar every again. It is worth the extra $60 just for the Nero suite that it comes with instead of the cheap stuff with the other drives.
