Hearing thresholds was determined by pure tone audiometry (PTA), and the mean hearing levels were expressed as the average of the hearing thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz (four-frequency average). All patients were evaluated by PTA prior to BDET and at 3 months and at least yearly after dilation. The air-bone gap was measured before and after BDET.
