Answer;

Otosclerosis

Otosclerosis is an inherited bone growth that causes hearing loss and is reported with category codes h80.

Step-by-step explanation;

Otosclerosis is a disease of the bones of the middle and inner ear. The ossicles (bones) become knit together into an immovable mass, and do not transmit sound as well as when they are more flexible.

Otosclerosis is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern with variable penetrance. Which means that an individual has a 50% chance of getting the gene for otosclerosis if one parent has it, but that not everyone with the gene develops symptoms.
