    Postoperative bone condition (BC) is a more stable reference for calculating air-bone gaps in otosclerosis patients than preoperative BC. This finding aids in understanding surgical outcomes and hearing improvement after otosclerosis treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Otosclerosis is a condition affecting the middle ear, potentially leading to hearing loss.
    • Accurate measurement of air-bone gaps is crucial for assessing hearing function and surgical success in otosclerosis.
    • Preoperative bone condition (BC) thresholds have been used as a reference, but their variability can impact outcome interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the stability of postoperative air-bone gaps using both pre- and postoperative bone condition (BC) thresholds in otosclerosis patients.
    • To determine which BC reference provides a more reliable measure for evaluating surgical outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Two groups of otosclerosis patients were analyzed: 18 with poor preoperative BC thresholds and 15 with good preoperative BC thresholds.

  • Postoperative air-bone gaps were calculated using both preoperative and postoperative BC thresholds.
  • Variability in air-bone gaps was assessed for each reference method.

    • Main Results:

    • Air-bone gaps calculated using postoperative BC thresholds demonstrated less variation compared to those using preoperative BC thresholds.
    • This suggests that postoperative BC is a more consistent and natural reference point.

    Conclusions:

    • Postoperative bone condition (BC) offers a more stable and reliable reference for calculating air-bone gaps after otosclerosis surgery.
    • Utilizing postoperative BC may lead to more accurate assessments of surgical outcomes and hearing improvement.
