Conventional reporting of posttympanoplasty hearing outcomes use a pure-tone averaged air-bone gap (ABG) largely representing a low-frequency sound conduction. Few studies report high-frequency conductive hearing outcomes. Herein, we evaluate high-frequency ABG in patients following temporalis fascia total drum replacement. Case series with chart r...
