i hav osteogenesis imperfecta. as a result, i started having hearing loss at around 25 years. now, some drs. recommend ear surgery which can reclaim some of the loss, they say. they are all ENTs. they speak from their point of view.

can someone with experience in orthopaedics advice from their point of view if surgery wud prove beneficial?

also, is it possible that the surgery may break the soft bones of the ear since they are so soft, or the bones cant hold the artificial bone that wud be inserted?

please advice.

i need a scientific answer that is possible to understand but still scientific. Does it break the ear drum? how does it make you lose your hearing?
