What is the typical average static compliance with otosclerosis?

The typical average static compliance in cases of otosclerosis is considered to be average compliance. Otosclerosis leads to the abnormal growth of bone in the middle ear, particularly affecting the stapes bone, which can hinder its movement. This condition typically results in a functional change in the middle ear leading to a reduction in mobility but does not result in extremely high or low compliance. While other conditions can lead to significantly high or low compliance measurements, otosclerosis usually presents with static compliance that is within the average range, reflecting the partial stiffness of the ossicular chain rather than complete immobilization or extreme mobility. Thus, understanding static compliance is essential in diagnosing and determining the severity of otosclerosis.
