Abstract
• Confirm audiometric results with tuning fork (512 cycles per second) and speech reception using Barany masker in contralateral ear.
• Manage anatomical and pathologic conditions of the external ear canal before the stapedotomy.
• In unilateral conductive hearing loss, consider malleus and/or incus fixation.
• Stapedotomy is preferred to stapedectomy in otosclerosis surgery.
• Prosthesis length must be carefully assessed.
• In sensorineural hearing loss after stapedotomy suspect reparative granuloma.
