Improved Bone Conduction Hearing After Middle Ear Surgery: Investigation of the Improvement Mechanism [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Otorhinolaryngology, 2023 Objectives. When performing middle ear operations, such as ossiculoplasty or stapes surgery, patients and surgeons expect an improvement in air conduction (AC) hearing, but generally not in bone conduction (BC).
