Abstract
Context: Evaluation of hearing acuity after small fenestra stapedotomy for stapedialotosclerosis. Aim: The aim of this study was to profile the age/ gender distribution, symptoms and hearing evaluation (before and after surgery) of patients diagnosed with otosclerosis. Setting and design: The study was done at a tertiary care hospital. It was a cross sectional record based study. Subject and Methods: Forty three patients diagnosed with stapedialotosclerosis who satisfied the selection criteria and consented were included in the study. Age/ gender distribution, symptoms and hearing acuity (before and after surgery) were profiled. Statistical analysis used: Statistical analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 11.5 (SPSS: An IBM company). For the current study frequency and percentage were considered. Results: Majority of the patients presented between the age of 21 and 40 years. There were more females than males in our study group, hearing loss was the most common symptom. Most of the patients had a pre-operative air-bone (AB) gap of 31-50 dB, which improved to less than 10 dB six months after surgery.
