Hearing results and repair material
Both the temporalis fascia and tragus cartilage groups, all frequencies
showed significant improvement in AC. Concerning the temporalis fascia
group, ABG changes at all frequencies showed a significant improvement,
while BC changes significantly improved at all frequencies except 4000
Hz. In the tragus cartilage group, ABG changes at all frequencies except
2000 Hz significantly improved, BC changes were not significant at 250
(P =.224) and 4000 Hz (P =.807) (Fig 4).
