Each ear is made up of 3 parts. There is the external ear which you can see, and which gathers the sound. Further in, the external ear joins the middle ear on each side of the head which contains the ear drum. Deeper still, there is an internal ear on each side. The sound vibration goes down the ear tube, which is part of the external ear, into the middle ear on that side. The ear drum stretches across the deepest part of the ear tube between the external ear and the middle ear and vibrates. The drum is about a third of an inch (8mm) across. It is made of thin skin, like the top of a real drum. The vibration of the ear drum is transferred to 3 very little bones which are just behind it in the middle ear. These 3 bones fit together like levers and transfer the vibration to the fluid of the internal ear so that you can hear. The last of these little bones (the one closest to the internal ear) is the stapes. . Your hearing problem is as there is growth of bone on the stapes which makes it inflexible and stuck to the other little bones. Because of this, the vibration does not get transferred to the internal ear and you can't hear well. This disease is called otosclerosis from the Greek words oto which means ear and sclerosis which means hardening. By replacing the damaged bone and joining the bones together again, your hearing should enhance.
