Abstract
Background: Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) One Of The Common Diseases Affecting The Ear And Is One Of The Leading Causes Of Hearing Impairment. Even Though The Hearing Impairment Can Be Effectively Prevented By Timely Surgical Intervention, In The Form Of Tympanoplasty, The Proportion Of CSOM Population Undergoing This Treatment Is Less In India. Scarcity Of The Studies Documenting The Efficacy Of The Procedure Can Be Considered As An Important Reason For This Phenomenon. Hence The Present Study Has Been Conducted To Assess The Improvement In Hearing Following Tympanoplasty Among CSOM Patients Presenting To A Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital. Materials and Methods: The Current Study Was A Prospective Observational Study, Conducted In The Department Of Ent, Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College And Hospitalmay –2014 To April– 2016. A Total Of 50 CSOM Cases Treated With Tympanoplasty During The Study Period And Completed The Follow Up Assessment Constituted The Study Population. Pta Was Done As Per Asha, Before And After Surgery To Assess Hearing Improvement. Results: Majority Of The Study Population Were Between 26 To 35 Years. Males Constituted 54% Of The Study Population. Major Proportion (51.06%) Had Mucopurulent Discharge. Out Of 50 Subects,37 (74%) Had Central Perforation, 8 (16%) Participants Had Attic And 5 (10%) Participants Had Marginal Perforation. The Overall Proportion Of Subjects Showing Improvement In Hearing Postoperatively Was 54% In The Study. Conclusion: Timely Treatment Of Preformation With Tympanoplasty Can Have A Significant Positive Impact On The Hearing Status Of The Affected Individual, Which In Turn May Have A Positive Impact On Recurrent Infection Rates And Quality Of Life Of The Individual.
