Sensorineural hearing loss in tubotympanic variety of chronic suppurative otitis media

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

A cross sectional study was conducted at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head-Neck surgery, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka during the period of July 2005 to June 2007 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. 130 patients with unilateral CSOM were included in the study age ranging from 11 to 50 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 thus excluded common variables, such as presbycusis, parenteral ototoxic medications, metabolic disorders, and the effect of sex or genetics. Bone conduction threshold elevation between diseased and control ear was considered as the indicator of inner ear damage. In this series, CSOM is seen to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. The study showed a bone conduction threshold elevation from 4.1dB to 10.7dB across frequency ranges. Significant threshold elevation was observed in relation to the disease duration. The average bone conduction loss at 4 kHz was higher than the average at the speech frequency range. 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.

Suppurative Otitis Media

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media of mucosal variety is one of the most common cause of conductive hearing loss worldwide. Sensorinueral hearing loss is rare but well established complication of chronic suppurative otitis media of squamosal variety. We made an attempt to view the sensorineural hearing loss in mucosal type of chronic otitis media and keeping objectives and aims as follows occurrence of sensorinueral hearing loss in mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media; relation of sensorinueral component with age, gender and duration in mucosal type of chronic suppurative otitis media.Methods: A total of 105 cases of mucosal type of CSOM were studied retrospectively for the pattern of hearing impairement on the basis of pure tone audiogram in a Tertiary care hospital. Relation 0f sensorinueral hearing loss with with age, gender and duration in mucosal type of CSOM is compared and tabulated with various studies. Results: Out of total 105 cases of CSOM of mucosal variety 30 (28.57%) had sensorinueral hearing loss affecting 13 males and 17 females with males to females ratio of 1:1.3.Mean bone conduction thresholds in males at 1 kh, 2 kh and 4 kh is 30.38%, 38.46% and 46.15% respectively and Mean bone conduction thresholds in females at 1 kh, 2 kh and 4 kh is 30.88%, 35% and 44.41% respectively.Conclusions: Significant sensorinueral hearing loss was seen in our study. Age, gender and duration didn’t have any impact on degree of sensorinueral hearing loss.

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.
