Otosclerosis | Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary or Use Our Simple Online Form to Give Us Feedback Otosclerosis is an abnormal, microscopic growth of bone in the walls of the inner ear which causes the stapes bone, commonly called the "stirrup," to become frozen in place or "fixed." Normally the stapes, the smallest bone in the body, vibrates freely to allow the transmission of sound into the inner ear. When it becomes fixed to the surrounding bone, it prevents sound waves from reaching the inner ear fluids and thus hearing is impaired
