| Re: Otosclerosis
It's easy to diagnose.
Hold a vibrating tuning fork by your ear; then to your forehead. IF you can hear it better pressed to your head (or bridge of nose or cheek), it's odds on that you have oto.
A complete audiological test will usually demonstrate a pattern that correlates VERY well with ototsclerosis.
My home test in the 70's, after 2 doctor's said I'd need a hearing aid was to hold my Accutron watch (built in teeeeeeny tuning fork) against my front teeth. LOUD and CLEAR!
I was never able to hear the hum through my ears so I diagnosed myself and found somebody who wasn't a quack and he agreed with me: surgery!
