ASSESSMENT OF HEARING LOSS IN RELATION TO SITE AND SIZE OF TYMPANIC MEMBRANE PERFORATION
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
This retrospective study was undertaken over 100 patients to assess the hearing loss with size and site of tympanic membrane perforation. Tympanic membrane(TM) perforation leads to chronic discharging ear and hearing loss. The site of perforation in the tympanic membrane and the duration of ear discharge have significant effect on the magnitude of hearing loss. For instance, posterior quadrant perforations are having poorer hearing than the anterior ones, if there is direct exposure of the round window to sound. Persistent ear discharge is also supposed to deteriorate hearing level with passage of time.
