In such scenario, the stapes is unable to function normally as a piston and eventually becomes completely fixated, which results in a weaker conduction [1,2]. Clinical features are characterised by hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, of combination of thes...

The authors once more stress that no uniform definition of sensorineural hearing loss is...
متن کاملLaser Versus Drill-Assisted Stapedotomy for the Treatment of Otosclerosis: A Randomized-Controlled Trial
laseror microdrill-assisted technique may enable better outcomes in terms of intraand post-operative complications as well as of hearing gain as compared with classical stapedotomy technique. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two subjects undergoing primary stapes surgery for otosclerosis were enrolled for this study as having a least pure tone average (PTA) air-bone gap (ABG) of 35 dB. Patients we...
