Good candidates for the surgery are those who have a fixed stapes from otosclerosis and a conductive hearing loss of at least 20 dB.
The plural form for the noun candidate is candidates; the plural possessive is candidates'.
Candidates
If you are referring to just one candidate, it's candidate's. If it's more than one, a group of them, it's candidates'.
Where would the accent on conflict be placed in the sentence there was a huge conflict between two candidates
The apostrophe and letter "s" at the end of the word indicate possession by a single noun, the candidate. "Candidate" without the apostrophe or "s" is a single noun; if the "s" were included, but there was no apostrophe ("candidates"), the word would be a plural noun meaning more than one candidate. If the apostrophe were to follow the "s" ("candidates' "), it would mean that multiple candidates possess something.
To restore hearing loss, which is usually due to otosclerosis, stapedectomy is performed
A stapedectomy is used to treat progressive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis, a condition in which spongy bone hardens around the base of the stapes.
stapedectomy
Harold Frederich Schuknecht has written: 'Stapedectomy' -- subject(s): Stapedectomy 'Pathology of the ear' -- subject(s): Diseases, Ear
Stapedectomy is a surgical procedure in which the innermost bone (stapes) of the three bones.of the middle ear is removed, and replaced with a small plastic tube of stainless-steel wire (a prosthesis) to improve the movement of sound to the inner ear.
The most serious risk is an increased hearing loss, which occurs in about 1% of patients. Because of this risk, a stapedectomy is usually performed on only one ear at a time.
It is removal of parts of the middle ear and insertion of prosthesis parts
It is performed in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility under local or general anesthetic
Full recovery takes about three weeks but hearing should improve immediately
Stapedectomy
Yes it is! I had a stapedectomy which was successful for 4 days. I did exactely what my doctor told me to do but on the 5th day after the operation, I experienced complete hearing loss again. The doctor said that it was possible for the prosthesis to have slipped from the bone and will require a second operation to refit it.
Yes-I have horrible ringing and pressure--it constantly feels as if I am in an airplane.
