Explanation:

Otosclerosis is characterized by a remodeling of the bones of the ear in a disorderly manner. Its prevalence is approximately between 0.3 and 0.4%. This disease is multifactorial. The otic capsule is a structure that has regions of cartilage known as interosseous globuli. This disease presents an abnormal reabsorption and a bone replacement found in said capsule. This can lead to conduction deafness loss. Approximately 10% of cases of otosclerosis there is the possibility of loss of sensorineural deafness, however, it could be due to the harmful effects of proteolytic enzymes that occur and reach inside the ear.
