    "abstract": "Stapedotomy is an effective surgical intervention used for the treatment of conductive hearing loss associated with otosclerosis. The present study aims to quantitatively evaluate the hearing outcomes following primary stapedotomy performed in patients with otosclerosis. It also aims to investigate frequency-specific hearing results of stapedotomy in these patients. This retrospective study enrolled 49 patients with clinical otosclerosis, who underwent primary stapedotomy at a tertiary-care hospital, between January 2014 and December 2019. Pure-tone audiometry (PTA) was performed pre and post-operatively (>\u20091\u00a0year after surgery). Post-operative air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) thresholds were recorded. The primary outcome measure was post-operative air-bone gap (ABG). Low frequency (LF) ABG was calculated as the mean ABG of thresholds at 0.5 and 1\u00a0kHz. High frequency (HF) ABG was calculated as the mean ABG of thresholds recorded at 2 and 4\u00a0kHz. In all the study patients, the mean post-operative AC and the mean postoperative BC thresholds, showed significant improvement across the tested frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4\u00a0kHz (\nThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-023-04126-0.",
