Absorbance level averaged between 0.6ā1 kHz plotted against air-bone gap averaged between 1ā4 kHz. The area designated with red border encloses 12 or 14 cases of surgically confirmed stapes fixation, the blue border encloses 5 of 6 cases of surgically confirmed ossicular discontinuity, and the green border encloses 12 of 12 cases of radiologically confirmed SCD.
