In total, 35 patients with otosclerosis were included as cases and 35 individuals without ear-problems as controls. The SPOT-25 questionnaire was filled out once by the patients and twice by the controls. Pure tone average (0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kHz) (PTA4) was obtained for cases.\n\nRESULTS: The SPOT-25 clearly discriminated the individuals with otosclerosis from con-trols within all subscores (p&lt;0.001). The internal consistency within the subscores was good to excellent with Cronbach alpha values of 0.85\u20130.95. The reproducibility (estimated by the control group) was moderate to high, with an intraclass correlation of 0.58-0.94 within the subscores. Although the SPOT-25 subscores within \u201chearing\u201d and \u201csocial restrictions\u201d showed a moderate correlation with PTA4 (Pearson correlation coefficient 0.51 and 0.42, respectively), this was not the case for the subscores regarding \u201ctinnitus,\u201d \u201cmental condition,\u201d and the \u201cgeneral.\u201d\n\nCONCLUSION: The SPOT-25 questionnaire can be used as a valuable complement to audiometric data in patients with otosclerosis, especially for estimating factors such as tinnitus and \u201cmental condition,\u201d which do not correlate with the audiometric data.\n\nCite this article as: Hildebrandt ME, Larsen KD, Glad H, Djurhuus BD.
