    Mastoid surgery, including radical, modified radical, and intact wall atticomastoidectomy, showed no significant changes in bone conduction thresholds one year post-operation. Preoperative thresholds varied significantly between radical mastoidectomy and other types.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Surgical Research

    Background:

    • Mastoid surgery is performed for various middle ear pathologies.
    • Understanding the impact of different mastoidectomy techniques on hearing is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Bone conduction thresholds are a key indicator of inner ear and neural function.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate changes in bone conduction thresholds after three types of mastoid surgery.
    • To compare preoperative and 1-year postoperative bone conduction thresholds.
    • To assess the impact of radical mastoidectomy, modified radical mastoidectomy, and intact wall atticomastoidectomy on hearing.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 97 patients (100 ears) undergoing mastoid surgery.
    • Comparison of preoperative and 1-year postoperative audiograms.

  • Analysis of bone conduction thresholds at three speech frequencies (500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz).

    • Main Results:

    • Preoperative bone conduction thresholds were significantly worse in the radical mastoidectomy group compared to modified radical mastoidectomy and intact wall atticomastoidectomy groups.
    • No statistically significant changes in average bone conduction thresholds were observed one year after any of the three mastoidectomy procedures.
    • Individual variations in threshold changes were noted, but the overall group averages remained stable.

    Conclusions:

    • Mastoid surgery, irrespective of technique (radical, modified radical, intact wall atticomastoidectomy), does not significantly alter bone conduction hearing thresholds at one year post-surgery.
    • Preoperative hearing status, particularly bone conduction, differs significantly based on the mastoidectomy approach, with radical mastoidectomy patients having poorer baseline thresholds.
    • Further research may explore long-term effects and factors influencing individual hearing outcomes after mastoid surgery.
