It may be an abnormal healing process and most commonly occurs in cases of serous otitis media as a complication of ventilation tube (gourmet) inseion. Characteristic chalky white patches are seen on inspection of the eardrum. It is woh noting that cholesteatoma may look similar but the whiteness appears behind, rather than in/on the tympanum. Otherwise tympanosclerosis is asymptomatic. Conductive hearing loss may occur in some cases.
