Comparative hearing outcomes of Stapedotomy and hearing aid rehabilitation in otosclerosis
Stapedotomy was associated with better speech-in-noise recognition, low-frequency hearing gain, and patient satisfaction compared to hearing aids in otosclerosis patients, although both treatments were effective. Treatment choice should consider individual clinical profiles, patient preferences, and potential risks, as stapedotomy is associated with more serious adverse effects despite superior auditory outcomes.
