Aim: aim to assess the eustachian tube function before and after tympanoplasty. Materials and methods: The present prospective comparative study was conducted in the Department of ENT, Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital, Muzaffarpur, Bihar  India .Among 60 patients confirmed with the diagnosis of chronic otitis media. Preoperative PTA and eustachian tube function tests were taken. Patients were then subjected to ear surgery. Results: Majority of patients were young adults the mean age group was 28.16±6.61 years. Of these patients, 55.0% were males and 45.0% were females. Mean preoperative PTA was 40.32±3.41 and post operatively the PTA was 31.41±4.65 improved significantly (p<0.05). Conclusion: The prognosis of middle ear surgery has a direct correlation with the Eustachian tube functions, i.e. good Eustachian tube functions is essential for obtaining a good prognostic value and vice versa. Keywords: eustachian tube functions, pure tone audiometry, tympanoplasty, chronic otitis media

This paper reviews the concepts, attitudes and experience at the Otologic Medical Group (OMG) in regard to testing eustachian tube function. At OMG eustachian tube function tests are not performed prior to reconstructive surgery in cases of chronic otitis media and the reasons for this are reviewed. The lack of significant incidence of serous otitis media in postoperative patients substantiates the conclusion that there is no rationale for preoperative eustachian tube function tests in patients who are to undergo reconstructive surgery for chronic otitis media.
