Abstract
Preoperative ABG, preoperative air conduction threshold, cochlear otosclerosis, male sex, laterality and age were significant prognostic factors for postoperative hearing outcome in otosclerosis patients. Especially, preoperative ABG was a significant prognostic factor at multiple frequencies. We suppose that patients with larger preoperative ABG have some other otosclerotic lesions outside the oval window niche.
