Physical examination and clinical evaluation of the patient with otosclerosis

Abstract

A detailed history, otoscopic examination, and testing with tuning forks are essential to the diagnosis of otosclerosis. These steps, including a differential diagnosis to rule out those middle ear conditions that can masquerade as otosclerosis, can help the examining physician make the presumptive diagnosis of otosclerosis.
