Treatment Otosclerosis may be slowly progressive, and the condition may not require treatment until the extent of hearing loss is significant. Medications such as oral fluoride, calcium, or vitamin D may help to stabilize the hearing loss, but their benefit has not been proven. Surgery to remove the stapes and replace it with a prosthesis is curative. If surgical repair is unsuccessful, hearing loss may occur. Treatment then involves developing skills to cope with deafness , including use of hearing aids or other technology, use of visual cues, and others.
Most complications of surgery correct themselves within a few weeks.
