Core Tip	Stapes ankylosis is rare disease presenting with non-progressive conductive hearing loss that usually begins in the early years of life. However, as noted in our case, the patient might present with fluctuating auditory symptoms, such as tinnitus, ear fullness and alternating mixed hearing loss. When a persistent air bone gap is noted in audiometry, the possibility of middle ear anomaly should be suspected and successful results can be obtained with surgical treatment.
