Long-Term Outcomes of Mastoidoplasty and Its Feasibility for Hearing Aid Usage

Compared with MO with periosteal flap, MP utilizing DBM showed better long-term outcomes of EAC reconstruction for hearing aid adoption with its smaller EAC sizes as well as a higher HA adoption rate. MP also resulted in a faster hearing rehabilitation with hearing aids compared with MO. We propose that MP should be considered for optimizing anatomic and functional outcomes in CWDM patients requiring further hearing rehabilitation with a hearing aid.
