<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Otitis media with effusion (OME) is one of the commonest diseases causing hearing impairment in children. Hearing loss in early childhood may lead to risk of speech and language problems and psychosocial abnormalities. Aim of this study is to evaluate the role of topical intranasal steroids (Mometasone furoate) in pediatric hearing loss due to otitis media with adenoid hypertrophy.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> A prospective study carried out at a tertiary care teaching hospital of eastern India where 104 children participated with diagnosis of otitis media with effusion and hearing loss between 2017 to 2019. These participants were divided into study group and control group. The age group of the children was between 5 to 10 years. Detail otoscopic examination, pure tone audiometry, tympanometry and nasopharyngeal endoscopy were done for assessing the hearing loss, fluid in the middle ear and adenoid hypertrophy.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> There is improvement of hearing in the study group as compared to control group. A significant improvement in hearing was seen in the study group (p=0.0001). In the study group, 37 (77.08%) out of the 48 children OME resolved over a period of 12 weeks after treatment in comparison to 18 (37.50%) in the control group (p=0.0004).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Intranasal topical steroids can be a treatment option alternative to surgery in OME. As it is short term follow up in this study, long term follow up is required. Intranasal mometasone furoate treatment can be considered as a good treatment option for OME.</p>

Objective To evaluate the role of social isolation during the lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) in modifying the prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME) and the natural history of chronic OME. Study Design Retrospective study. Setting Tertiary level referral audiologic center. Methods We assessed the prevalence of OME among children aged 6 months to 12 years who attended the outpatient clinic for hearing or vestibular disorders during 2 periods before the lockdown, May-June 2019 (n = 350) and January-February 2020 (n = 366), and the period immediately after the lockdown, May-June 2020 (n = 216). We also compared the disease resolution rates between a subgroup of children with chronic OME (n = 30) who were diagnosed in summer 2019 and reevaluated in May-June 2020 and a similar subgroup (n = 29) assessed in 2018-2019. Results The prevalence of OME in this clinic population was 40.6% in May-June 2019, 52.2% in January-February 2020, and 2.3% in May-June 2020. Children with chronic OME had a higher rate of disease resolution in May-June 2020 (93.3%) than those examined in May-June 2019 (20.7%, P < .001). Conclusion Closure of schools and the physical distancing rules were correlated with a reduction in the prevalence of OME and favored the resolution of its chronic forms among children who attended the outpatient clinic. These data could suggest that in the presence of chronic OME, keeping young children out of group care settings for a period might be beneficial to allow for OME resolution.
