Abstract
Audiometric findings of 2405 stapedectomized individuals were subjected to computer analysis. Results are reported in yearly intervals for six years postoperatively. Air and bone conduction thresholds were significantly improved and showed excellent stability over the period of investigation. The high success rate and sustained improvement affirms the use of the Teflon wire piston as the prosthesis of choice for stapedectomy procedure.Keywords
