Sex predominance was observed in male (60%) population. With increasing duration of disease, more propensity to develop SNHL, 53.4%patients with ear discharge for more than 10 years developed SNHL. In our study mucosal type of disease had more predisposition to develop SNHL and incidence of SNHL increase with size of perforation.
