Middle Ear Osteoma With Assimilation of Ossicles: An Unusual Case of Conductive Hearing Loss

We present a case report of a middle ear osteoma presenting as gradual unilateral conductive hearing loss in a healthy 32-year-old lady.

description We present a case report of a middle ear osteoma presenting as gradual unilateral conductive hearing loss in a healthy 32-year-old lady.

Taking patient wishes and circumstances into account, the decision was made for a bone conduction hearing implant in conjunction with close follow-up.
