Conductive hearing loss due to ossicular anomalies is often encountered in patients with EEC syndrome, which can have significant impacts on language acquisition.
12.
Sometimes artificial ear bones are placed to substitute for damaged ones, or a disrupted ossicular chain is rebuilt in order to conduct sound effectively.
13.
There are two common types of ossicular replacement prostheses, the total ossicular replacement prosthesis ( TORP ) and partial ossicular replacement prosthesis ( PORP ).

16.
The mobility of the ossicles may be impaired for different reasons and disruption of the ossicular chain due to trauma, infection or ankylosis may also cause hearing loss.
17.
Prolonged duration of otitis media is associated with ossicular complications and, together with persistent tympanic membrane perforation, contributes to the severity of the disease and hearing loss.
18.
As well as ossicular erosion, the bone of the ear canal ( e . g . the scutum ) and even bone over the cochlea ( the promontory ) can become eroded.
19.
In medicine, an ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted for the functional reconstruction of segments of the ossicles and facilitates the conduction of sound waves from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear.
20.
Both of Mazimpaka's eardrums were ruptured, and there was damage to the ossicular chain, a series of three tiny bones in the middle ear that transmit vibrations from the ear drum to the inner ear.
