  1. The fate of tympanic membrane retraction
  2. Does vein grafting avoid vertigo in stapes surgery?
  3. Stapedectomy results using various prostheses - This study will examine results of stapedotomy using different prosthesis design, with attention to high and low frequency response.
  4. Hearing Characteristics of Cholesteatoma - Cholesteatoma often cause bone erosion and ossicular erosion. Hearing characteristics, however, are variable and have not been fully predictable. Growth patterns with hearing loss will be studied.
