can ear surgery reclaim some of the hearing loss resulting from osteogenesis imperfecta?

Question

i hav osteogenesis imperfecta. as a result, i started having hearing loss at around 25 years. now, some drs. recommend ear surgery which can reclaim some of the loss, they say. they are all ENTs. they speak from their point of view.

can someone with experience in orthopaedics advice from their point of view if surgery wud prove beneficial?

also, is it possible that the surgery may break the soft bones of the ear since they are so soft, or the bones cant hold the artificial bone that wud be inserted?

please advice

Answer 1

To date, there is no known surgical or other treatment to cure OI. There are some treatments to deal with symptoms, though.
