Considering the long-term results of otosclerosis surgery performed in our clinic, it was observed that in addition to the improvement in air conduction hearing, which indicates conductive hearing, which is the main success of the surgery, there was also an improvement in bone conduction hearing, which indicates sensorineural hearing, in patients using bone cement. Our study aimed to examine the effect of bone cement use in otosclerosis surgery on long-term hearing thresholds and bone conduction.
