There is a detrimental impact of reduction in bone mineral density on middle ear transmission characteristics which may go unnoticed initially. Treatment of osteoporosis may potentially mitigate hearing loss from middle ear fractures due to reduced bone mineral density. Absence of significant air-bone gap with the presence of reduced middle ear resonance frequency may be early signs of reduced BMD.
