[This is from the Silent Talk Conference]

I have advanced bilateral otosclerosis of thirty years duration. I 
also have two teenage sons. I know the disease is hereditary. Is 
there any diagnostic method to determine if my sons will develop the 
disease or is there any method to determine if a middle ear 
structural change is occuring before actual hearing loss?
                                      Thank you,
                                                 Bob Pozner
