The short\u2010 and long\u2010term (up to 9 1\/2 years) hearing results of first\u2010stage and second\u2010stage operations for middle ear tympanosclerosis in 203 consecutive patients, performed in a tertiary referral otologic private practice, are presented. There were 160 tympanoplasties and 43 tympanoplasties with mastoidectomy performed, with ossicular fixation secondary to tympanosclerosis in 135 cases. Of these 203, 42.9% were primary cases, with the majority being planned second\u2010stage or revision procedures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The average preoperative air\u2010bone gap (ABG) was 30.9\u00a0dB. The average short\u2010term postoperative ABG was 17.4\u00a0dB with closure of the ABG within 20\u00a0dB in 64.6%. The success rate (ABG \u2264 20\u00a0dB) for patients with ossicular fixation was 65.3%. Partial sensorineural hearing loss occurred in 1.0% of the patients, and none experienced profound sensorineural hearing loss (dead ears). There was no statistically significant change from short\u2010term to long\u2010term follow\u2010up in either ABG or air PTA, with mean differences of only 0.3 and 2.0\u00a0dB, respectively.
