Table 3 Results of pure-tone audiometry in relation to perforation of the tympanic membrane in 1 vs 2 quadrants.
| Location of perforations (quadrants) | Hearing threshold | ABG (dB) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| BC (dB) | AC (dB) | ||
| AS | 12.5 | 25.0 | 12.5 |
| AI | 12.3 | 26.3 | 14.1 |
| PS | 26.2 | 36.1 | 9.9 |
| PI | 15.7 | 31.1 | 15.4 |
| AS + AI | 17.7 | 37.9 | 20.2 |
| AS + PI | 10.0 | 25.0 | 15.0 |
| AI + PI | 17.2 | 38.6 | 21.4 |
| PS + PI | 27.1 | 53.3 | 26.3 |
| ABG – air-bone gap; dB – decibel; AC – air conduction; BC – bone conduction; AS – anterior–superior; AI – anterior–inferior; PS – posterior–superior; PI – posterior–inferior. | |||
