Abstract
This patient had four operations performed on the left ear. In the beginning he had an uncomplicated otosclerosis of average severity and in the end, a "dead" ear. The time span was five years. At one point, following the original stapedectomy, the hearing improvement amounted to an overclosure of the air-bone gap. The course of the hearing acuity, while apparently stabilized for two years, was downhill. The specific complaint over the five-year period was periodic vertigo. The final finding was a cholesteatoma which filled the vestibule.
