Abstract
- In general, causes of conductive hearing loss with the intact tympanic membrane and external auditory canal are known as congenital anomaly of the ossicular chain, otosclerosis, and head trauma-induced ossicular discontinuity. But it may also occur due to fibrotic change by potential inflammation of the ossicular chain as a result of otitis media in the infancy or childhood. We report two cases of fibrous change of the ossicles by probable middle ear inflammation with a review of the related literature.
