...Dina Giese; Helge Rask-Andersen; Hanif M. Ladak; Sumit Agrawal; Hao Li Introduction: Otosclerosis is a bone disorder affecting the labyrinthine capsule that leads to conductive and occasionally sensorineural hearing loss. The etiology of otosclerosis remains unknown; factors such as infection...

...) decay and the need for hearing aids in otosclerosis patients. Methods: We enrolled patients who underwent stapes surgery by means of stapedectomy or stapedotomy between 1991 and 2001. All enrolled patients underwent pure-tone audiometry (PTA) between September 2017 and June 2018. A set of questions...

..., and instability of the results are potential challenges for the CI team. Objectives: To evaluate hearing results and subjective outcomes of CI users with otosclerosis and to compare them with those of CI users without otosclerosis. Method: Retrospective review of 239 adults with bilateral profound postlingual...

...Nicolas Verhaert; Charlotte Borgers; Katleen De Voecht; Ellen Boon; Christian Desloovere Recent findings support the efficacy of the direct acoustic cochlear implant (DACI) in patients with advanced otosclerosis whose rehabilitation is very challenging. Standard treatment consists of stapes surgery...

... bilateral, for a total of 32 ears that underwent surgery. All the patients were preoperatively diagnosed with a mixed hearing loss, that is, with AC between 40 and 85 dB and BC ≥40 dB. Patients with far advanced otosclerosis, BC < 40 dB or revision surgery were excluded. Two patients underwent bilateral...

...Anna Alberti; Enric Figuerola; Guillermo Romero-Farina; Miquel Quer; Francisco Larrosa Objectives: To assess the long-term effectiveness of stapedotomies performed on patients with otosclerosis and preoperative small air-bone gaps (ABGs). Methods: Retrospective study comparing the 10-year...

...Caroline Salmon; Sébastien Barriat; Laurent Demanez; David Magis; Philippe Lefebvre Objectives: The efficacy of stapedotomies performed on patients with small air-bone gaps (<25 dB) was compared with the efficacy of the operation in patients who had otosclerosis with high air-bone gaps (≥25 dB...

Results: Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of obtaining a ≥10 dB gain is significantly affected by the following factors: age <50 years, AC-PTA ≥50 dB and preoperative ABG ≥30 dB. All...

...M. Sainz; J. García-Valdecasas; M. Garófano; J.M.
