Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media is an infectious disease, prevalent in developing countries especially in India and it is the common cause for hearing loss which can be prevented. The objective of the study is to know the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in CSOM with or without cholesteatoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective observational study of 100 cases of CSOM for convenience purpose was done for a period of 2 years. History taking, detailed clinical examination and audiometry were done and results tabulated. RESULTS In the present study 100 patients of CSOM were taken, out of which 30 patients had sensorineural component and 70 patients do not have sensorineural component. Out of 30 patients with sensorineural component, 16 were Males and 14 were Females. Similarly, 17 had disease in the left ear and 13 in the right ear. Patients with duration of disease for 16 - 20 years correspondingly, sensorineural component is more in the group (13) which is 43.34%. CONCLUSION CSOM patients develop sensorineural component if the disease is not treated at the earliest, longer the duration stronger is the chance for getting the sensorineural component.
