Background: To know the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss among chronic suppurative otitis media patients To study the correlation between duration and clinical findings of CSOM with the degree of hearing loss. Materials and Methods Hospital based cross sectional study of patients aged between 10 to 45years with unilateral chronic suppurative otitis media attending Tirumala Super speciality Hospital, Kadapa from December 2015 to November 2017 with sample size of 100 cases were taken. Results: Out of the 100 cases, 10 patients were having sensorineural hearing loss. Thus the percentage is 10%. Out of the 10 cases of sensorineural hearing loss, no cases with sensorineural hearing loss between 10-15yr and 16-20yr age group. 2 were between in the age group of 26-30yr, 31-35yr and 36-40yr age group and 4 patients were in the age group of 41-45yr. Out of 100 patients 52 were males and 48 were females. Out of 10 patients with sensorineural hearing loss 6 were males and 4 were females. The duration of ear discharge ranged from 3 months to more than 15 years. Among the 100 patients studied 64 had ear discharge from 3months to 5yr. 16 had ear discharge from 6-10yr, 11 had ear discharge from 11-15yr and 9 had ear discharge of more than 15years. Conclusion: Our study shows presence of significant (10%) sensorineural hearing loss in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media. Duration of ear discharge correlates well with sensorineural hearing loss. No significant correlation between sex and sensorineural hearing loss. Keywords: Chronic suppurative otitis media, tubotympanic disease, sensorineural hearing loss.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A cross sectional descriptive study was done at department of ENT-B, Hayatabad Medical Complex (HMC), Peshawar, from March 2016 to September 2016. In this study a total of 174 patients were observed by using 95% confidence interval and 5% margin of error with expected frequency of sensorineural hearing loss 13% among cases with chronic suppurative otitis media with the help of WHO formula for sample size determination.  More over consecutive (non-probability) sampling technique was used for sample collection. RESULTS: In this study mean age was 26 years with standard deviation ± 11.62. Forty five percent patients were male while 55% patients were female. More over the incidence of sensorineural hearing loss was found to be 18% in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media. CONCLUSION: The incidence of sensorineural hearing loss was found to be 18% in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media.   KEY WORDS: Bacteriology, antibiotic sensitivity, chronic suppurative otitis media, sensory neural hearing loss

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) emerging as common hearing problems in the recent years with high prevalence requiring immediate attention. Hence, our study includes assessment of adult patients with CSOM using electrophysiological test, auditory brainstem response (ABR) and analysing the latency of ABR peaks in order to find the effect of CSOM on ABR latency with respect to shift in latency.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> The study followed cross sectional study design where data collected from March to September 2019 were used. A total of 50 subjects with unilateral CSOM were analysed. Descriptive statistics and paired t-test was used for statistical analysis of the data.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The data was divided into 3 groups based on degree of hearing loss (mild, moderate and moderately severe). The Mean ABR peak latency was analysed and subjects showed a significant latency shift. Also, it was found that the magnitude of latency shift increased with increase in degree of hearing loss.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Hence the study concludes that as the amount of conductive component increases the pure tone threshold deteriorates and ABR latency gets affected. Also, the morphology of ABR peaks on comparison to the normal hearing ear gets affected due to constant conductive pathology in the pathological ear.</p><p class="abstract"> </p>

Objectives: To determine whether chronic suppurative otitis media(CSOM) can cause Sensorineural hearing loss(SNHL) and to note its degree and its relation to duration of disease. Methods: This was a cross sectional study which was carried out in the departments of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck Surgery of Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of April’2012 to March’2013. A total number of 76 patients having unilateral CSOM were included in this study age ranging from 6 to 59 years after exclusion of other possible causes of SNHL such as meningitis, head injury, previous ear surgery and chronic noise exposure. The use of unilateral CSOM cases provided a contralateral ear to serve as a control. Bone conduction threshold elevation between diseased and control ear was considered as the indicator of inner ear damage. Results: In this series, CSOM was seen to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Significant threshold elevation was observed in relation to disease duration. Here bone conduction measurement in all frequencies (500Hz,1000Hz,2000Hz and 4000Hz) in diseased and uninvolved contralateral side showed elevation of bone conduction in diseased side and this elevation was significantly higher (p<0.001). The average bone conduction loss at 4kHz was higher than the average at the speech frequency range. Conclusion: This study suggests that CSOM can cause significant bone conduction threshold elevation and it should be considered when managing this problem. Early detection and prompt treatment may limit this potential handicap. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; April 2016; 22(1): 26-30
