Ossiculoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to repair or replace the tiny hearing bones (ossicles) in the middle ear that are responsible for transmitting sound from the eardrum to the inner ear. Damage to these bones can occur due to chronic ear infections, trauma, or conditions such as cholesteatoma, leading to conductive hearing loss.

The goal of ossiculoplasty is to restore the normal sound conduction mechanism, resulting in improved hearing levels, clearer sound perception, and better speech understanding. By reconstructing or replacing the damaged ossicles with biocompatible prostheses or reshaping existing bones, the procedure provides a long-term solution for hearing loss caused by middle ear damage.

Ossiculoplasty is a safe and effective surgical option that can be performed alone or in combination with other ear surgeries, such as tympanoplasty or mastoidectomy. Successful outcomes significantly enhance communication ability, confidence, and overall quality of life for patients experiencing hearing impairment.
