I suffer from otosclerosis. I'm looking for information, preferably from someone who has had the operation, on a stapendectomy. The side effects and the possibility of loosing my hearing altogether don't make the operation seem too appealing. -- Rodney Wishart <rwishart@snip.net>

I would suggest that you ask your ENT what the hospital's long term success rate for the procedure is, then get a second opinion at another institution. Most surgeons don't mind either the question or the second opinion.
