Otosclerosis is a bone remodeling disorder of the human otic capsule that leads to progressive conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss as a consequence of stapes footplate fixation and cochlear bone resorption with endosteal involvement. The prevalence of clinical otosclerosis is 0.3–0.4% in the...
Otosclerosis is a complex and progressive disease of bone remodeling that affects the otic capsule of the human temporal bone, resulting primarily in a conductive hearing loss with a normal tympanic membrane. Family history, clinical assessment, and audiological evaluation are usually sufficient to esta...
The stimulus was applied at frequencies ranging between 100 and 10 kHz. The main conclusion of this work is that the fenestral otosclerosis affects the motion of the stapes footplate, without changing significantly the umbo response.Materials Design and Applications...
various forms of bone tissue surface damage were noted on the stapes head in all otosclerosis patients. Mild changes were evident in 90% of the samples, while small linear bone tissue
The hearing results of 451 stapes operations were evaluated to analyze to what extent the choice of different audiologic criteria affects success rates. It appeared that choice of PTA significantly affects postoperative gain in air-conduction thresholds and ABG levels. If one takes the improvements in...
