This prospective study was carried out in the Department of ENT and Head Neck Surgery, Sheikh Hasina medical college, Tangial, Bangladesh in a period of 6 months from January 2017 July 2017 among those complaining hearing loss attending in ENT out patient department. The aim of the study was to find the out pattern of hearing loss and hearing level comparison between noisy area (such as bazaar, bus stands, factory, school etc) to silent area. In this study 103 cases of hearing impaired people were taken and the data were collected by interviewing the cases as per questionnaire from history, examination and investigation report. Working place of most of the hearing impaired people was in noisy area 88 (85.4%). Among them most of the patients was male (58%) and female was (42%) and male:female ratio 1.4:1. The commonest type of hearing loss was sensorineural type. In the right ear 55 cases (53.4%) of sensorineural type deafness, 19 cases (18.4%) of mixed type of deafness and 21 cases (20.4%) of conductive type deafness. In the left ear 46 cases (47.7%) of sensorineural type deafness, 18 cases (17.5%) of mixed type deafness and 24 cases (23.3%) of conductive type deafness. This study showed that male (58%) were mostly affected than female (42%) and vehicle drivers (25.5%) were commonest group of people. From this study we got both ears were involved by disease process in 77.6% of patients and only right ear was 14.6% and only left ear was 10% of the patient of hearing loss.

Objectives: To determine the degree and pattern of hearing impairment among patients attending audiology department of a tertiary level hospital. Methods: This was a cross sectional observational study which was carried out in the department of audiology of National Institute of ENT(NIENT) during the period of March 2015 to June 2017. A total number of 8338 patients complaining hearing impairment were included in this study. The clinical diagnosis was established by history, detailed clinical examination including otoscopic examination and all findings were recorded. Hearing assessment was done by different hearing tests according to age and need of patient. Pure Tone Average (PTA) was done on averaging the hearing threshold at 0.5, 1 and 2 kHz. Results: In this study majority of patients (30.1%) were within 25-40 years of age and most of the patients (61.27%) were male. Mild degree of hearing loss was found to have higher prevalence (40.9%) compared to other degrees of hearing losses and more than half (52.5%) of our study population had conductive hearing loss. Conclusion: Mild degree of hearing impairment and conductive type of hearing impairment are more prevalent. Audiological evaluation especially in suspected hearing impaired patient should be a priority. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2017; 23(2): 115-121

“…For the diagnosis of hearing loss, PTA is a simple diagnostic tool performed in day to day practice by the audiologists as per referred by the otorhinolaryngologists. Pure Tone Audiogram is easy to perform and gives valuable information regarding type, configuration of hearing loss and further management planning [6].…”

Background: Hearing loss is a major health problem in developing country including Nepal. The prevalence of disabling hearing loss is greatest in South Asia followed by Asia Pacific and Sub-Saharan Africa. World Health Organization estimates that hearing loss affects over 360 million people worldwide.Objective: To analyze the pattern of hearing loss among patients attending Otorhinolaryngology outpatient department.Methods: This is a retrospective review of data retrieved from the record of Pure Tone Audiomtery (PTA) results from Department of Otorhinolaryngology in Dhulikhel Hospital, Kathmandu university hospital between 1st November 2014 to 31st October 2016.Total 1640 patients with hearing loss, who had undergone PTA were included in the study. The data were tabulated, analyzed and results were expressed in number and percentage. Results: Among 1640 patients with hearing loss, 964 (58.8%) cases were male, 676 (41.2%) were female 688 cases (41.9%) had unilateral involvement whereas 952(58.1%) cases had bilateral involvement. Number of right ear involved was 1321(50.9%) whereas left ear was 1271(49.1%).The commonest type of hearing loss was conductive type i.e. 1270(48.9%). In right ear, 598 cases (45.3%) were conductive, 455(34.4%) were sensorineural and 168(12.3%) were mixed. On left ear 572 (45%) were conductive, 490 (38.6%) were sensorineural and 209 (16.4%) were mixed. Mild hearing loss was seen in 1077 cases (41.6%), moderate in 833 (32.1%), severe in 457(17.6%), Profound in 225(8.7%).Common age group is between 20-30 years is 455(27.7%) and highest number was seen in newar ethnic group with 513 cases (31.3%). Conclusion:From this study we found that the commonest type of hearing loss is conductive and the commonest degree of hearing loss is Mild degree. The ear diseases are common but its diagnosis is usually delayed until the patient aware of their hearing loss. So the preventive measures like awareness programme, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are needed to improve this situation.
