Otosclerosis is hereditary. Acquired illness and accidents have no relationship to its development.

The primary symptom of otosclerosis is loss of hearing. In addition, many people experience tinnitus (noice originating inside the ear). The amount of tinnitus is not necessarily related to the kind or severity of hearing loss.

— Dorothy Elinor Stonely
