Abstract Background The standard methods for diagnosing otosclerosis (OS) include clinical and audiological testing. Radiologic imaging continues to expand with use in diagnosis, staging, surgery planning, and outcomes. Objective To determine if high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) imaging advances to the audiological findings in the diagnosis of otosclerosis. Methods This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted from June 2018 to June 2022. Fifty patients with OS who divided into two subgroups: group 2a, 50 early OS ears, and group 2b, 35 ears with late OS. The controls includes 50 individuals who have healthy ears (group 1). All participants had otorhinolaryngology examination, audiological evaluation and HRCT imaging. Results Early OS had higher air conduction thresholds than control, and late OS had considerably higher air conduction thresholds than either the early or control subjects (p |
