Earlier this week I had a conversation with a 40-something male who

about 8 years ago was diagnosed with otosclerosis (abnormal bone

formation) in his left ear and had surgery to replace the stapes w/a

prosthesis. After recovering from surgery his hearing returned though

over the years it has diminished to 40% with continued calcification and

probable continued loss of hearing. He does not want to go through

another surgery/recovery. His question to me: can acupuncture

treatment help -- by stopping further bone formation to retain his 40%

hearing? or help decrease formatin to improve his hearing? I cannot

find information on how to approach this. Karen Wilson
