When the small bones in the ear, known as the ossicles (the malleus, incus, and stapes), join together or become fused, a condition called ossicular chain fixation can occur. This fusion can lead to impaired sound transmission from the eardrum to the inner ear, resulting in conductive hearing loss. Treatment may involve surgical intervention to separate the bones or replace them with prosthetic devices to restore hearing function.
