What happens if spongy bone grows between the auditory ossicles?

Spongy bone growing between the auditory ossicles is called otosclerosis. This is one of the causes of Conductive Deafness or Hearing Loss where the ossicles are not able to "conduct" the sound vibrations from the eardrum to the oval window. The spongy bone "dampens" the vibrations instead of amplifying them.
