- Abstract
Stapedectomy can be used in certain patients with profound sensorineural hearing loss and stapes fixation to improve hearing to a level at which a hearing aid may be effective. This study reviews the outcomes of 11 patients with profound cochlear loss secondary to otosclerosis who underwent stapes surgery performed by the senior author (M.E.G.) over a 25-year period. Postoperative hearing aid usage was effective in 9 of 11 patients. Preoperatively, these patients derived no benefits from hearing aids. Stapedectomy may be of immense value in patients with the proper history and profound cochlear loss. Laryngoscope, 106:831-833, 1996
