Middle Ear Osteoma With Assimilation of Ossicles: An Unusual Case of Conductive Hearing Loss

We present a case report of a middle ear osteoma presenting as gradual unilateral conductive hearing loss in a healthy 32-year-old lady. The decision for treatment was influenced by the relatively small burden of the disease, and the size and location of the osteoma, which made the decision for surgical excision prohibitively difficult. Taking patient wishes and circumstances into account, the decision was made for a bone conduction hearing implant in conjunction with close follow-up.
