High-frequency hearing, tinnitus, and patient satisfaction with stapedotomy: A randomized prospective study
Otosclerosis is a common disorder that leads to conductive hearing loss. Most patients with otosclerosis also have tinnitus, and surgical treatment is known to improve hearing as well as tinnitus. Some patients however experience worsening of tinnitus after the operation, but there are no known factors that allow surgeons to predict who will be at risk. In this prospective observational study o...
متن کاملThe Hearing Results in Otosclerosis after Stapedotomy
Otosclerosis is the most frequent cause of conductive hearing loss in patients with intact tympanic membrane. It can be treated by surgery with various techniques. Because of limited manipulation and comparably similar results, stapedotomy at present is preferred over other surgical techniques by most surgeons. Here we present the operative results of 114 otosclerotic patients who underwent sta...

Glossary: Azimuth – direction along the horizon relative to a listener Δt – difference in the time of arrival of a sound at the two ears Δfi – difference in the frequency-intensity spectra of a sound at the two ears Functional head size – the time it takes for sound to travel around the head from one ear to the Octave – an interval between two frequencies that have a 2 to 1 ratio (.25 kHz to .5...
متن کاملLate Postoperative Hearing Results After Stapedotomy
In conductive hearing loss caused by otosclerosis stapes, surgery is the generally accepted treatment of choice. Since the introduction of stapes surgery in the 1950’s many different approaches have been developed. All modern procedures aim at reconstruction of a functional, mobile ossicular chain and adequate sound transfer at the stapes footplate. In the last two decennia small fenestra stape...
متن کاملHearing and Otoacoustic Emissions Outcome of Stapedotomy: Does the Prosthesis Diameter Matter?
OBJECTIVE To compare the hearing and otoacoustic emissions (OAE) outcome of stapedotomy employing 0.4 and 0.6 mm diameter prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 18 patients with otosclerosis participated in a prospective, double-armed, randomized cohort study. All the patients underwent small fenestra drill stapedotomy employing the Causse fluroplastic large loop piston prostheses. The p...
