Ossicular Chain Discontinuity Care to Help You Hear

Three tiny bones in your middle ear carry sounds to the inner ear. If these bones are damaged or malformed, you may experience a condition called ossicular chain discontinuity. This condition can lead to gradual hearing loss and a ringing, buzzing or roaring sound in your ear called tinnitus.

Our hearing loss experts manage the symptoms of ossicular chain discontinuity in both adults and children. We offer one-of-a-kind hearing tests that accurately diagnose hearing problems. We provide some of the most advanced treatments for hearing loss available today.
