I have been suffering from otosclerosis. Doctor advised me to use hearing aid as I have not taken the option of surgery due to my young age. Are there any other options too?

Surgery is the best option for optimum hearing results.... There is no such thing as young age for surgery... Considering your age surgery is actually a better option for you.... Risks of otosclerosis surgery are extremely low now in the best hands There is no other option.... And after a point hearing aids also may not be helpful of your hearing drops too much...
