Audiologic outcomes and complications were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The first case group had a smaller postoperative air-bone gap (ABG) compared with the later case group of 9.81 dB HL compared with 11.73dB HL and 3.79 dB HL compared with 6.29 dB HL at 1000 and 2000 Hz, respectively (p = 0.03, p
