Figure 2 Pure-tone hearing thresholds before and after treatment. Mean hearing thresholds (dB HL) in the eustachian tube balloon dilatation alone (ETBD-only) and ETBD combined with tympanic membrane catheterization (TMC) groups at baseline and 6 months after treatment. Values are expressed as mean±standard deviation. P<0.05 indicates significant differences between groups after treatment.
