Abstract:
The authors present their classification of ossicular disorders. It is felt to be easy to use, and self-explanatory, and it lends itself conveniently to analysis of data by computer. Examples are shown of its use in analyzing data in relationship to the ossicular status, in quantifying the effects of different ossicular situations, and in comparing our results with those of other authors. Using the N.I.F. classification, these factors are surprisingly easy to manipulate. It is hoped that this classification will be of use to others engaged in the same type of studies.
