Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of ENT - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Chronic middle ear diseases are common in all age groups. CSOM is chronic infection of middle ear cleft .it includes Eustachian tube, middle ear and mastoid. Hearing loss in CSOM is more conductive but some studies found sensorineural hearing loss in CSOM. This study aimed at finding determinants of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic middle ear disease. Aim and objective: To study the determinants of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic middle ear diseases at tertiary health care centre Methodology: Present study was conducted in department of ENT in ANNMCH Gaya Bihar. Total 200 patients were studied with selection criteria. Data was collected using pretested questionnaire. It included sociodemographic data, detailed history and clinical examination of patients. Pure tone audiometry was performed by a calibrated audiometer Patients were analysed on the basis of duration of disease, presence or absence of otorrhea, site of perforation, presence or absence of cholesteatoma at different test frequencies. Results and discussion: Mean age of the patient was 26.34±3.6 years. Majority of the patients were in the age group of 11-20 years (36%) followed by 21-30 years (29%). Males predominate females but this difference was statistically not significant. Majority of the patients were in duration of disease of 2-5 years (34%) followed by duration less than 1 year (28%). we found greater difference in the high frequencies than lower frequencies. No significant difference was found between ears with or without cholesteatoma across all frequencies (p > 0.05). No significant difference was found between ears with or without erosion across all frequencies (p > 0.05).
