Study of Binaural Squelch Effect Among Patients Undergoing Unilateral Otosclerosis Surgery: Comparison of Understanding in Noise Before-after Surgery
In Brief
An observational study evaluating stapedectomy for Otosclerosis of Middle Ear and Unilateral Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Patients with unilateral transmission hypoacusis due to otosclerosis undergoing stapedectomy surgery will be prospectively included. They will be undergoing a free field vocal audiometry using the Oldenburg MATRIX software to evaluated the squelch effect gain between audiometry before and after 9months after surgery. Our hypothesis is to show a squelch effect with the rehabilitation of the binaural audition.
