Mean ± standard deviation of normalized ratios (in decibels) of the maximum mobility of TM after cartilage reconstruction. A, Small cartilage-induced changes in magnitude of maximum mobility of TM at 500 Hz. B, Cartilage-induced reductions in magnitude of maximum mobility of TM at 1 kHz. C, Cartilage-induced reductions in stapes velocity at 500 Hz. D, Small (8 dB or less on average) cartilage-induced changes in magnitude of stapes velocity at 1 kHz. In all, n = 4, 0.5-/1.0-mm NBC = 0.5-/1.0-mm cartilage without bone contact, 0.5-/1.0-mm BC = 0.5-/1.0-mm cartilage graft with bone contact. Asterisk marks those conditions that are significantly different (p < 0.05) from the control.
