Tympanosclerosis is a condition caused by hyalinization and subsequent calcification of subepithelial connective tissue of the tympanic membrane and middle ear, sometimes resulting in a detrimental effect to hearing.
==Signs and symptoms== Myringosclerosis rarely causes any symptoms. Tympanosclerosis, on the other hand, can cause significant hearing loss or chalky, white patches on the middle ear or tympanic membrane.
