Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The hearing impairment in patients with CSOM has generally been observed to be of conductive type and less of sensorineural type. Since long attempts have been made to establish relationship of hearing loss in csom patients with use of topical ear drops. Material and Methods: The prospective study carried out in 100 patients presented in department of ENT,G R Medical College,Gwalior from february2015 to September2016 with complaint impaired hearing. Objective is to study incidence of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media patients on use of topical ototoxic ear drops. After taking detailed history of the patient, complete examination of ear, nose and throat has been carried out. Puretone audiometry is done. Result: In present series of 100 patients with CSOM, 98 patients were using topical ear drops and 2 patients were not using any topical medications. Among the patient with only pure SNHL,13 patients (86.7%) were using ototoxic ear drops and only 2 patients (13.3%) were using non-ototoxic ear drops. Conclusion: There was increase in incidence of SNHL in CSOM patients with use of topical ototoxic ear drops
