“…However, the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and CSOM remains a controversial issue. For instance, some workers have consistently reported the presence of SNHL in patients with this condition [6][7][8][9][10]. On the contrary, some investigators have reiterated the fact that little or no such relationship exist [11,12].…”

Even though there are other complications of chronic suppurative otitis media, the aspect of hearing loss is often studied. Nevertheless, the occurrence of sensorineural hearing loss in patients with this disease is still controversial. This study aim (1) to assess the association between sensorineural hearing loss and chronic suppurative otitis media, (2) to investigate some clinical factors that might affect the sensorineural component in patients with this disease. This was a retrospective analysis of the clinical records and pure tone audiograms of patients with chronic suppurative otitis media in a Nigerian Tertiary Health Institution from January 2003 to December 2008. Sixty-nine patients with a mean age of 28.93 years; standard deviation of 18.593 were studied. They had an age range of 4-73 years. The duration of otorrhea ranged from 2 months to 20 years; with a mean of 6.11 years (standard deviation of 6.393). The mean bone conduction threshold in the diseased ear was 39.07 dB (standard deviation of 12.028), and 10.26 dB (standard deviation of 2.620) in the control ear (P \ 0.05). The mean bone conduction threshold differences between the diseased and control ears range from 21.69 to 34.52 dB across the frequencies 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 kHz. These differences tended to increase with increasing frequency and were all significant (P \ 0.05). In the diseased ears, there were no significant correlation between the age, duration of otorrhea, and the degree of SNHL (r = 0.186, P [ 0.05; r = 0.190, P [ 0.05 respectively). Patients with chronic suppurative otitis media had a significant degree of sensorineural hearing loss in this study. The higher frequencies were more affected; however, the patient's age and duration of otorrhea seem not to have any correlation with the degree of sensorineural hearing loss.

“…The association between chronic otitis media and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been broadly studied and remains a controversial topic. Studies present a frequency that varies from no clinical significance [5][6][7][8][9] to 10%10. A variation in sample selection could justify this difference.…”

“…Others assessed SCOM without considering the presence or absence of cholesteatomas separately 6,7,12 . There is much controversy about the correlation between SNHL with the patient's age and chronic otitis media duration time [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] . The socio-economic environment could also be a possible factor influencing SNHL evolution 2,3 .…”

Sensori neural hearing loss (SNHL) related to chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) was studied to clarify the involvement of cholesteatomas in this context. Aim: to evaluate SNHL related to CSOM and its association with cholesteatomas, disease duration and patients' ages. Methods: Retrospective analysis of 115 patients with CSOM with and without cholesteatoma submitted to surgical treatment. Inclusion criteria were active unilateral disease, normal contralateral ear and age below 60 years. Results: The average age was 26.3 years, 58 males and 57 females. The duration of ear disease was, in average, 12.4 years. The average threshold of hearing was 40 dB in CSOM ear and 22 dB in the normal contralateral ear (P=0.002). CSOM with cholesteatoma occurred in 78 of 115 cases. In the abnormal ear, SNHL was seen in 15 cases, being 6 cases of profound loss, that correlated with adjusted-age (P=0.003) and absence of cholesteatoma (P=0.01), but not with disease duration (P=0.458). Conclusion: SNHL occurred in 13% of the patients with CSOM, and was correlated with older age, but not with the presence of cholesteatoma or longer duration of ear disease.

Objectives: To determine the association between extended high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus in normal cochlear function based on a conventional audiometry chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) patient. Design and methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 220 ears diagnosed as having CSOM with an equal number of tinnitus and without tinnitus groups. Only those with normal cochlear function based on conventional pure tone audiometry (250 Hz to 8 kHz) were included. They were further tested for hearing at extended high frequencies of up to 16 kHz. The severity of tinnitus was tested using a tinnitus questionnaire.Results: The prevalence of extended high frequency hearing loss in the normal cochlear function CSOM patients with tinnitus was 81.8% (95% CI 74.5%, 89.1%), whereas the prevalence in the tinnitus negative group was 30.0% (95% CI 21.3%, 38.7%). There was a significant association between extended high frequency hearing loss and tinnitus in CSOM patients (P < .001). The average thresholds were significantly higher in the tinnitus group at all extended high frequencies tested with an increasing trend of significance toward the higher frequencies. However, this study did not observe any association between the severity of tinnitus and extended high frequency hearing loss. Conclusion:The development of tinnitus among normal cochlear function CSOM patients indicates that the damage has occurred at a higher frequency level. However, the severity of tinnitus does not predict the degree of higher frequency hearing loss. Therefore, the presence of tinnitus warrants more aggressive monitoring and treatment to prevent sensorineural hearing loss from developing into the speech frequencies.
