1 When the bones of the middle ear do not vibrate and become stiff, it can give rise to a hissing and vibrating sound in the ears. 2  Rupture of ear drum either due to trauma or due to loud sound can cause vibration in the ear during the initial stage. 3  Infection in the ear, cold and sinusitis can also cause vibration.
The cause of otosclerosis is unknown. However, there is some evidence that it may be passed down through families. People who have otosclerosis have an abnormal sponge-like bone growing in the middle ear. This growth prevents the ear bones from vibrating in response to sound waves. Such vibrations are needed in order for you to hear. Otosclerosis is the most common cause of middle ear hearing loss in young adults. It typically begins in early to mid-adulthood. It is more common in women than in men. The condition may affect one or both ears. Risks for this condition include pregnancy and a family history of hearing loss.
