The relationship between vestibular and cochlear function in stapedectomy was investigated in 722 patients (925 ears). There were no differences in hearing between patients with and without pre-operative complaints of vertigo. Post-operatively patients with long lasting vertigo obtained equally good hearing results as the others. The direction of spontaneous nystagmus post-operatively in relation to the operated ear was of no prognostic significance regarding short term hearing results. However, at follow-up an average of 15 years after the operation, hearing was somewhat poorer in those having spontaneous nystagmus towards the operated ear. At follow-up 17% had an abnormal caloric test.
对722例患者（925耳）进行了镫骨切除术，研究了前庭与耳蜗功能之间的关系。术前有眩晕主诉和无眩晕主诉的患者听力无差异。术后有长期眩晕的患者听力结果与其他患者同样良好。术后自发性眼球震颤相对于患耳的方向对短期听力结果无预后意义。然而，在术后平均15年的随访中，向患耳出现自发性眼球震颤的患者听力稍差。随访时，17%的患者冷热试验异常。
