Postmastoidectomy Hyperacusis Syndrome: Clinical Features and Treatment

Conclusions PMHS can occur in patients after cortical mastoidectomy when there is no history of ossicular chain or history of chronic middle ear disease or middle ear abnormalities. PMHS can cause significant distress to patients and remain underrecognized unless synchronous tympanic membrane movement is specifically examined for. Treatment via mastoid cortex surfacing with hydroxyapatite bone cement is safe and effective.
