Article Synopsis
- The study examines how unilateral versus bilateral hearing impairments affect patient satisfaction and hearing outcomes after stapedotomy surgery.
- Over 90% of patients reported hearing improvements post-surgery, but those with unilateral impairment had lower satisfaction compared to those with bilateral impairments.
- Tinnitus was more prevalent in patients with unilateral hearing issues, indicating additional challenges they faced after the procedure.

Otosclerosis is a well-known disease which mainly affects middle-aged female patients, causing conductive or mixed hearing loss. Diagnosis is essentially made through a complete audiometric battery testing, while treatment substantially relies on stapes surgery. In this study, we analyzed audiometric and Quality-of-Life data from 33 patients in order to refine the surgical indications (unilateral versus bilateral stapes surgery) and assess the best technique (stapedotomy versus partial stapedectomy) and timing of treatment.

It has become increasingly appreciated to perform endoscopic ear surgery worldwide as the field of endoscopy expands. In basic terms, a stapes surgery intends to restore ossicular mobility and therefore improve sound energy transduction into the inner ear, thereby improving communication and sound amplification and bringing hearing levels back to acceptable levels.
