BACKGROUND: There is a general idea that the external auditory canal (EAC) is wide in patients with otosclerosis. However, as far as we know, there is no objective measurement of the EAC of patients with otosclerosis. In this study, we aimed to measure objectively the dimensions of the osseous EAC (OEAC) in otosclerosis, using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT).
