Stapes surgery outcomes improved significantly by 6 months post-operation. Speech recognition threshold (SRT) measures demonstrated higher success rates compared to pure-tone average (PTA) audiometry.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Audiology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Stapes surgery is a common procedure for hearing restoration.
  • Assessing surgical success relies on objective audiological measures.
  • Standardized outcome metrics are crucial for evaluating stapes surgery effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the success rates of stapes surgery at 2 and 6 months post-operation.
  • To compare the efficacy of different audiological measures in assessing surgical outcomes.
  • To determine the most reliable metric for evaluating hearing improvement after stapes surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective study involving 23 patients undergoing stapes surgery.
  • Audiological assessments including pure-tone average (PTA) and speech recognition threshold (SRT) were performed preoperatively, at 2 months, and at 6 months.

  • Success was defined using a cutoff of 30 dB HL for air-conduction measures.

    • Main Results:

    • At 6 months, success rates varied by measure: 55% (PTA 0.5-1-2-4 kHz), 64% (PTA 0.5-1-2-3 kHz), 73% (PTA 0.5-1-2 kHz), and 91% (SRT).
    • Speech recognition threshold (SRT) showed the highest success rate (91%) at 6 months.
    • The 4-frequency average PTA (0.5-1-2-4 kHz) yielded the lowest success rate (55%) at 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Speech recognition threshold (SRT) is a more sensitive measure for assessing stapes surgery success compared to pure-tone average (PTA) audiometry.
    • SRT provides a higher success rate indication, reflecting functional hearing improvement.
    • These findings support the use of SRT as a primary outcome measure in stapes surgery evaluations.
