    This study followed 508 patients after surgery to assess hearing. Large fenestra surgery led to hearing aid needs sooner than small fenestra surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Hearing preservation is crucial after otologic surgery.
    • Fenestration surgery techniques have evolved, impacting hearing outcomes.
    • Long-term data on hearing aid requirements post-fenestration is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate long-term hearing outcomes in patients undergoing fenestration surgery.
    • To compare hearing aid dependency between large and small fenestra procedures.
    • To determine the interval between surgery and the need for hearing amplification.

    Main Methods:

    • Longitudinal follow-up of 94% of 508 patients operated on between 1960-1975.
    • Assessment of hearing levels and need for hearing aids up to 1977.

  • Analysis of air-bone gaps and correlation with surgical technique.

    • Main Results:

    • Postoperative hearing loss occurred in up to 40% of large fenestra operations vs. 15% of small fenestra operations at 5 years.
    • Large fenestra procedures required hearing aids after an average of 13 years.
    • Small fenestra procedures required hearing aids after an average of 21 years.

    Conclusions:

    • Small fenestra surgery offers better long-term hearing preservation compared to large fenestra surgery.
    • Surgical technique significantly influences the timing of hearing aid acquisition.
    • Fenestration type is a key factor in predicting the need for auditory amplification.
