Otosclerosis, a frequently underdiagnosed yet treatable condition, causes progressive fixation of the stapes bone in the middle ear, leading to gradual hearing loss. It can affect individuals as young as 8–10 years to the elderly and is more prevalent in women, often worsening during pregnancy.

Dr Swaroop’s first 1,000 cases were presented at the Asia Oceania Congress of ENT Surgeons (2019) and subsequently published as a main article in the Journal of Laryngology and Otology (Cambridge, UK) in 2021.
