Years ago, Michael was diagnosed with otosclerosis, a condition in which the bones in the middle ear have limited movement due to abnormal growth.  We’ll discuss Michael’s journey, from what he initially noticed and his symptoms, to his eventual surgery and then referral to our office.  He will share how and why he is so satisfied with his current 24/7 invisible hearing devices.   We’ll also understand Michael's approach to his hearing, which can be a valuable guide for so many others, and how his situation created a calling for one of his daughters.
