Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Assessment of Hearing following Tympanoplasty

Abstract: Tympanoplasty is one of the ever evolving surgical procedures mainly aimed at restoring the hearing loss and eradication of middle ear disease. We have made an attempt to assess the hearing improvement of various types and techniques of tympanoplasty. A prospective observational study was done on 50 cases of CSOM, of which 45 cases were tubotympanic type, and 5 cases were attico-antral. Patients of only pure conductive component with good cochlear reserve and good Eustachian tube function were considered for t… Show more

“…7 Similarly, in a study by Shetty in 2012 female were more common than male, and younger age group being more common (11-30 years), with a mean age of 23.5 years. 11 However, other studies had male more common than female, though younger age groups were more common in all these studies. 12,13 The involvement of young age groups being more common indicates the fact that Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is mainly the middle ear infection which tends to occur more in early decades of life and resolves to leave permanent perforations with conductive hearing loss in many cases.…”

“…The air conduction hearing threshold, bone conduction hearing threshold and air-bone gaps of patients at 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz were observed. Ears with air-bone gaps not more than 20 dB were considered effective ears [11]. The outcomes were analyzed using SPSS 18 software, and χ 2 tests were conducted for count data.…”

“…Most of the patients who underwent surgery had ear discharge (100% in group 1 and 96.7% in group 2), followed by hard of hearing (66.7% in group 1 and 56.7% in group 2). A study done by Sharankumar Shetty 8 showed that all the patients in their study presented with complaints of ear discharge and hearing loss.…”
