“…Because the postoperative score on the visual analogue scale correlates with each scale of the Operation Benefit Profile, it may be used as an estimation of the Operation Benefit Profile. Tan et al (12) found similar values with the Operation Benefit Profile for the handicap, benefit, and satisfaction scores.…”

“…Published subjective lack of postoperative improvement in quality of life was attributed to factors as tinnitus, vertigo, sound distortion (12), and intolerance for loud noise (22), postoperative speech recognition (18), and personality characteristics (24).…”

“…On the other hand, patients' views of successful stapes surgery are more complex than only improvement in audiometry and absence of complications or revision surgery. It also comprises other aspects, such as stereophony (10); the listening abilities in various environments (11,12); and the absence of sound distortion, tinnitus, and dizziness ( 13).…”

“…The definition of stereophony distilled from this observation is known as the Belfast rule of thumb. The operation benefit profile (12) is a version of the Glasgow Hearing Aid Benefit Profile, a validated questionnaire for the evaluation of listening capabilities in 4 different listening situations to assess the benefit of hearing aids (11). The Operation Benefit Profile has been used to assess the benefit of stapes surgery (12).…”

The aim of the National Quality Registries is to monitor the outcome of healthcare given to patients. The Swedish Quality register for otosclerosis surgery is one of the nine official national registers for ear, nose and throat diseases in Sweden. Since 2004, surgical and audiological results and patient satisfaction scores have been systematically collected from a majority of the ear, nose and throat clinics performing stapes surgery in Sweden. The results of 1688 patients who underwent primary operations for otosclerosis were evaluated for 24 out of totally 26 clinics performing stapes surgery, between 2004 and 2010. The most common surgical technique reported was stapedotomy accomplished in an overnight stay. A majority of patients experienced improved hearing, and were satisfied with the preoperative counselling. Successful surgery, defined as an ABG closure ≤10 dB HL, was achieved in 69%, improvement in AC by ≥20 dB in 63% and BC not worsened by more than ≥5 dB in 93% of the patients. An overall low incidence of postoperative complications was reported. The outcome for ABG and BC was demonstrated to be independent of the number of operations performed by each clinic. An evaluation of the register and the results from the SQOS revealed that stapes surgery is a safe procedure with good hearing outcomes, low complication rates and a high rate of patient’s satisfaction on a national level.

Quality of Perceived Sound after Stapedotomy

Abstract: Audiometric improvement does not necessarily mean an improvement in perceived sound and vice versa. But the audiometric outcome is significantly related to the patient's experienced handicap, benefit of the operation, residual difficulty, and overall satisfaction.
