Hi there.
40 dB to 26 dB is a good sign.
Though there might not be further improvement in hearing, kindly take steps to avoid ear infection. It can aggravate your hearing loss.
The graft has taken up well. There are instances where after 6 months to 1 year, the hearing improves even further.
So fingers crossed, only time can tell.
