Background: Adenoids are common childhood upper respiratory tract problem which frequently obstruct the nasopharyngeal opening with tubal occlusion causes reduction in middle ear pressure with conductive hearing loss. Objective: To observe middle ear pressure and level of hearing in children with enlarged adenoids. Methods: This cross sectional observational study conducted among 72 children of enlarged adenoids admitted or attended in Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Dhaka. Results: 72 children of enlarged adenoids of age ranges between 5-12 years with male female ratio was 1.25:1. Mouth breathing (65.27%), hearing impairment (59.72%), nasal obstruction (55.55%) and snoring (56.94%) were the presenting symptoms of the patients. Majority of the patients of this study came from middle class (52.77%). Most of the patients with enlarged adenoids were grossly enlarged (51.38%). 43.05% grossly enlarged adenoids had significant hearing loss . In this series 65 ears (45.13%) had type A Tympanogram. 58 ears (40.27%) has Type B Tympanogram and 21 ears (14.58%) has Type C Tympanogram. Conclusion: This study revealed significant association between enlarged adenoids and conductive hearing loss of variable degree and negative middle ear pressure.

Up to 3 million people in Britain might be helped by hearing aids.1 2 Most are over 65 years of age, but some are infants. All should be referred to specialist centres for assessment as soon as possible. Hearing aids generally help most in disorders of the middle ear (conductive hearing loss); they can also help those with sensorineural and other forms of hearing loss. The use of an aid often needs to be supplemented by lip reading and other means of auditory training.1 3

The conductive SISI (short increment sensitivity index) test is an indirect procedure to estimate bone-conduction thresholds for middle ear pathology patients. A series of SISI tests are run, beginning at 20 dB S.L. and increasing in 10 dB S.L. steps, until a 100% SISI score is obtained. The following equation predicts the bone-conduction threshold: [Formula: see text] The results of 25 conductive SISI tests on a conductive hearing loss group indicate that the equation approximates the measured B.C. threshold. There was no statistical difference between the predicated B.C. thresholds (12.4 dB) and measured B.C. thresholds (10.4 dB) for the group.

We recorded auditory-evoked magnetic responses with a whole-scalp 122-channel neuromagnetometer from seven adult patients with unilateral conductive hearing loss before and after middle ear surgery. The stimuli were 50-msec 1-kHz tone bursts, delivered to the healthy, nonoperated ear at interstimulus intervals of 1, 2, and 4 seconds. The mean preoperative pure-tone average in the affected ear was 57 dB hearing level; the mean postoperative pure-tone average was 17 dB. The 100-msec auditory-evoked response originating in the auditory cortex peaked, on average, 7 msecs earlier after than before surgery over the hemisphere contralateral to the stimulated ear and 2 msecs earlier over the ipsilateral hemisphere. The contralateral response strengths increased by 5% after surgery; ipsilateral strengths increased by 11%. The variation of the response latency and amplitude in the patients who underwent surgery was similar to that of seven control subjects. The postoperative source locations did not differ noticeably from preoperative ones. These findings suggest that temporary unilateral conductive hearing loss in adult patients modifies the function of the auditory neural pathway. (Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1998;119:125-30.)

Otosclerosis is the most frequent cause of conductive hearing loss in patients with intact tympanic membrane. It can be treated by surgery with various techniques. Because of limited manipulation and comparably similar results, stapedotomy at present is preferred over other surgical techniques by most surgeons. Here we present the operative results of 35 otosclerotic patients who underwent stapedotomy between January 2009 - October 2010 in the department of Otolaryngology- Head & Neck Surgery of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Shahid Suhrawardhy medical college & hospital, Dhaka. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hearing results following stapedotomy in otosclerosis surgery. The average air-bone gap of patients improved significantly to 21.74 dB after operation. Other hearing parameters of patients (including air conduction, bone conduction, speech discrimination score, and tinnitus) also improved. No patient experienced persistent vertigo after the operation and pre operative tinnitus resolved in 12 out of 22 patients. Stapedotomy is a safe and effective modality for improving conductive hearing loss in otosclerotic patients. Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol; October 2019; 25(2): 85-93

Introduction. Despite modern radiological workup, surgeons can still be surprised by intraoperative findings or by the pathologist’s report.Materials & Methods. We describe the case of a 52-year-old male who was referred to our clinic with a single sided conductive hearing loss. He ultimately underwent middle ear exploration and excision of a middle ear tumour followed by second look and ossiculoplasty a year later.Results. Though preoperative CT and MRI scanning were suggestive of a congenital cholesteatoma, the pathologist’s report diagnosed a middle ear adenoma.Discussion. Middle ear glandular tumors are extremely rare and, despite numerous histological techniques, continue to defy satisfactory classification. Most surgeons advocate surgical excision though evidence of the tumour’s natural course and risk of recurrence is lacking.

Hearing loss must be divided into conductive hearing loss (CHL) and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). CHL is caused by sound not reaching the cochlear (abnormality of the ear canal, tympanic membrane, middle ear, or ossicles), whereas SNHL is a condition affecting the cochlear or auditory (eighth cranial) nerve. Hearing loss may be accompanied by other cardinal signs of ear disease, such as pain or discharge from the ear, vertigo, facial nerve palsy, and tinnitus, which guide the diagnosis. This chapter describes the approach to the patient with hearing loss.

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.

AbstractObjective:We present a technique which we have found useful for the management of congenital cholesteatoma extensively involving the middle ear.Case report:A five-year-old boy was presented to our department for management of a white mass on the right tympanic membrane. This congenital cholesteatoma extensively occupied the tympanic cavity. It was removed through an extended tympanotomy approach using our modified sleeve technique. The conventional tympanotomy approach was extended by gently separating the tympanic annulus from its sulcus in a circular manner. The firm attachment of the tympanic membrane at the umbo was not severed, in order to avoid lateralisation of the tympanic membrane.Conclusion:Although various operative techniques can be used, our modified sleeve tympanotomy approach provides a similarly sufficient and direct visualisation of the entire middle ear, with, theoretically, no possibility of lateralisation of the tympanic membrane and subsequent conductive hearing loss.
