    Abstract:
    At the end of stapedioplasty, performed under local anesthesia, the surgeon usually tests the hearing function making questions to the patient turning his voice from a soft whisper to a loud tone. At the ENT Department, University of Parma Italy, a more precise method is employed in order to measure the air conduction threshold of the patient at the beginning and at the end of surgery. From April 1996 to October 1996, intraoperative pure-tone audiometry was performed in 36 patients who underwent stapedioplasty. A portable audiometer "Amplaid 161/C Amplifon" was used in the operating room. Air conduction thresholds were measured at 125-8000 Hz. Intraoperative pure-tone audiometry allows an instantaneous and a more accurate evaluation of the surgical functional results.
