Background: In December 2019, the first Coro­navirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) case was obse­rved in Wuhan, China, and afterward, the world has been exposed to an ongoing pandemic. The Covid-19 has different symptoms, such as fever, coughing, shortness of breath, muscular pain, headache, diarrhea, nose running, and a sore thr­oat. However, the symptoms of Covid-19 are not limited to these ones. The Case: The present study reports a 39-year-old female patient complaining of earache and hearing loss with no other Covid-19 symp­toms. The medical tests and diagnoses finally inferred that she was suffering from the Covid-19. Conclusion: In addition to the common symp­toms of Covid 19, acute otitis media can be con­sidered as another symptom of this disease. Keywords: Acute otitis media; Covid-19; conductive hearing loss

Conductive Hearing

Otitis media (middle ear infection) is one of the most common childhood diseases all over the world and is very prevalent in many indigenous populations including Australian Aborigines. When children have otitis media they often have a hearing loss that can range from slight to moderately severe. This hearing loss is often hard to identify and can come and go. The problem often starts in infancy and can continue for years; hearing returns to normal in some children but some have permanent hearing loss. Even a mild hearing loss in early childhood can seriously affect communication development and learning. This can make it very difficult for children to succeed in the classroom — even when they no longer have active otitis media or hearing loss.

AbstractAcute otitis media and otitis media with effusion (OME) have often been observed in children with bacterial meningitis. OME has also been proposed as the mechanism of reversible hearing loss after meningitis. In this controlled study, children with acute bacterial meningitis were studied using auditory brainstem responses (ABR), otoacousticemissions, tympanometry and otoscopy. An age- and sex- matched control was recruited for each patient and the incidence of acute otitis media and OME was compared between the twogroups. One hundred and twenty-four children with meningitis were studied. Ninety-two children (74 per cent) had meningococcal meningitis. Five patients (4 per cent) had conductive hearing loss (ABR threshold≥30 dB HL) at the time of discharge from hospital. None of the patients or controls had acute otitis media. Patients and controls were well matched for risk factors for OME and the prevalence of middle ear effusion in patients and controls was 7.2 per cent and 11.3 per cent respectively. The relative risk of OME in the children with meningitis was 0.64 (95 per cent confidence interval 0.29 to 1.42). After nine months, three of the five children with meningitis and conductive hearing loss had regained normal hearing.In contrast to previous reports, there was no relationship between bacterial meningitis and acute otitis media or OME in this study. Nevertheless, coincidental conductive hearing defects were identified as the cause of reversible hearing loss in three patients.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic inflammation of the mucosa and periosteum of the middle ear and mastoid cavity that defined as a perforated tympanic membrane with persistent drainage for more than 2 months. Preoperative hearing threshold and air bone gap (ABG) assessment are expected to predict the ossicular status which can only be ascertained intraoperatively. This study aimed to determine the correlation between intra-operative ossicular status and the degree of conductive hearing loss assessed based on the hearing threshold and average ABG among CSOM patients in RSUP Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. Methods: Observational research using a cross sectional design. The data were collected using medical record on 64 subjects with a diagnosis of CSOM who underwent mastoidectomy surgery at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang for the period of March 2019 to June 2021. Results: From 64 samples conducted in the study, the average ossicular status score in CSOM patients was 1.84 ± 1.48, with the highest group scoring 0 being the malleus incus and intact stapes as many as 21 patients (31.3%). There was a strong positive correlation between hearing threshold scores and intra-operative ossicular status scores (p<0.005, R=0.5) and there was a strong positive correlation between ABG scores and intra-operative ossicular status scores (p <0.005, R=0.6). From the linear regression test, the most influential in predicting intra-operative ossicular status scores were gender, hearing threshold value, ABG value, and the presence of cholesteatoma Conclusions: There is a significant relationship between intra-operative ossicular status and the degree of conductive hearing loss in CSOM patients.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic squamosal otitis media can occur due to many conditions affecting the middle ear. Most common sign of developing a chronic squamosal otitis media is formation of a retraction pocket in the tympanic membrane leading to further development of a cholesteatoma and if not treated properly, may lead to development of dangerous complication in the affected ear. These etiological factors may also affect the other ear. It is therefore very necessary to assess and diagnose the contralateral ear, so that the disease can be intervened and treated at the right time, to prevent any deterioration in hearing of the contralateral ear.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The prospective study was done in 100 patients with unilateral chronic squamosal otitis media, where the contra lateral ear was examined and assessed for any hearing loss.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> We found hearing loss in the contra lateral ear ranging from mild conductive hearing loss to sensorineural hearing loss with the maximum patients with mild conductive hearing loss (42%) and lowest in sensorineural hearing loss (1%).  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> In our study, 76 patients were seen with conductive hearing loss. Out of that, 42% patients were seen with mild conductive hearing loss, 30% with moderate conductive hearing loss and 4% with severe conductive hearing loss. 20% patients were seen with normal hearing. 3% patients were seen with mixed hearing loss and only 1% patient was seen with sensorineural hearing loss in contralateral ear.</p>

ABSTRACT Objective Cephalometric assessment of Eustachian tube (ET) parameters and audiological evaluation in Down syndrome (DS) and Chronic Otitis Media (COM) and comparison with controls. The ET length, Total Cranial Base (TCB), Posterior Upper Facial Height (PUFH), Maxillary Depth (MD), s-ba (sella-basion) to Palatal Line (PL) and s-ba to ET length were considered. Materials and methods The study comprised of 75 subjects of both sexes in the age range of 7 to 20 years. Digital lateral cephalometry was performed for DS, COM and controls (n = 25). Pure tone audiometry (PTA) and immittance audiometry (IA) was performed to assess audiological status. Results ET length, PUFH, TCB and MD was found to be significantly reduced in DS and COM. s-ba to PL and s-ba to ET was significantly reduced in DS and COM. The s-ba to PL and s-ba to ET length angle in moderate and severe CHL (Conductive Hearing Loss) was decreased significantly. The s-ba to ET length was significantly decreased in patients with B and C tympanogram. Conclusion Aberration in the dimension of the region of the ET can be considered as a predisposing factor for otitis media and conductive hearing loss in DS.

Neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear (NAME) is a rare tumor. We report a case of NAME, the clinical and pathologic findings of which illustrate the biologic behavior of adenomatous tumors of the middle ear and their relationship with rare carcinoid tumors of the middle ear. A 29-year-old man presented with a history of recurrent otitis media, right conductive hearing loss, and aural fullness. The tumor was removed in its entirety. Otolaryngologists should be familiar with this unusual but important entity.
