Evaluation of Pure tone audiometry (PTA) as a predictor of Ossicular erosion in Tubotympanic Chronic Suppurative Otitis media
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Basic and Applied Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
This retrospective study was done to determine the predictive value of pre-operative audiological factors in diagnosing Ossicular erosion in patients with tubotympanic chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM).. A total of 25 patients with age between 15-45 years were studied from the Inpatient Department of ENT, NIMS Jaipur, from Jan 2016 to June 2017. All Cases with inclusion and exclusion criteria, audiometric evaluations were done. This study shows that Ossicular chain erosion can be predicted if PTA was ranged from 45-60dB.
