“…Bilateral persistent sensorineural hearing loss has been also reported caused by lightning [28], high-voltage electrical injury [29] or low-voltage electrical injury [30]. Overall, the commonest acoustic insult after lightning injury is conductive hearing loss secondary to tympanic membrane rupture, and the most frequent vestibular symptom is transient vertigo [28]. Electrical current injuries predominantly cause pure sensorineural hearing loss and may significantly increase a patient's lifetime risk of tinnitus or vertigo [29].…”

“…Although tympanic membrane rupture is the most common ear-related injury after lightning strike, more serious injuries such as sensorineural or vestibular injury may also occur. 9 Case 1 was evaluated by the otolaryngology department because of the tinnitus. No pathology was detected.…”

ABS TRACT Lightning strike is one of the causes of injury and death caused by environmental or natural events. Deaths can be seen after lightning strikes, also many different organ systems can be temporarily or permanently affected. Lightning strike can cause damage to many organ systems such as musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system, neurological system, dermatological system, visual and hearing. The patients must be evaluated for multi-organ system involvement after lightning strike and the treatment must be structured with a multidisciplinary approach. An appropriate rehabilitation plan should be made according to the clinical conditions of the patients. Here, we present a case series of 4 patients with different organ or system involvement after lightning strikes who were followed up with a multidisciplinary approach and rehabilitation programme.

Background: Myringoplasty, which is type 1 tympanoplasty, is the surgical reconstruction of the tympano-ossicular continuity after thorough disease clearance from a tympano-mastoid portion of the middle ear cleft. The success of the myringoplasty, a reconstruction of the vibrating tympanic membrane, is in hearing improvement and the closure of the tympanic membrane perforation. Objectives: To determine the surgical and audiological results of myringoplasty (tympanoplasty type-1) using cartilage perichondrium graft. Patients & methods: A prospective study was conducted on 100 patients with tympanic membrane perforation (TMP) at Sulaimani Ear-Nose-Throat (ENT) Teaching Center and Azmar Private Hospital, Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, from June 2013 to June 2016. Patients underwent TM repair using an underlay cartilage perichondrium graft and were followed up for three months after surgery. Graft taking with the closure of perforation was considered a surgical success, and hearing improvement of 10 dB as the minimum gain was regarded as an audiological success. Results: The overall success rate was 84%. The graft take rate for large-sized perforation was 80%, and for medium-sized perforation was 90%. The success rate for posterior perforation was 100%, followed by anterior perforation (84.6%) and subtotal perforation (70%). The mean postoperative hearing gain was 11.5 dB. Conclusions: The cartilage perichondrium graft underlay technique for myringoplasty tympanoplasty type 1 is an effective method for closure of the tympanic membrane perforations and, consequently, improving hearing provided that a thorough disease clearance from Middle ear cleft was secured.
