Diagnostic audiologic procedures for otosclerosis are effective tools in identifying this condition. Audiometric data usually demonstrate a conductive hearing loss at the early stages of otosclerosis. Modern middle ear analysis procedures are becoming more popular in the better diagnosis of otosclerosis. In clinical practice, cochlear otosclerosis can also be observed. Audiologic rehabilitation of otosclerosis includes fitting of hearing aids and implantable hearing devices. Current hearing technology enables patients who do not pursue surgical correction to function well and significantly improve their communication and quality of life. Otosclerosis may also be associated with annoying tinnitus, and tinnitus management is important in the rehabilitation process.
耳硬化症的诊断听力学检查程序是识别这种病症的有效工具。听力测定数据通常显示耳硬化症早期存在传导性听力损失。现代中耳分析程序在耳硬化症的更好诊断中越来越受欢迎。在临床实践中，也可观察到耳蜗性耳硬化症。耳硬化症的听力学康复包括佩戴助听器和植入式听力设备。当前的听力技术使那些不寻求手术矫正的患者能够正常生活，并显著改善他们的沟通能力和生活质量。耳硬化症还可能伴有令人烦恼的耳鸣，耳鸣管理在康复过程中很重要。
