The evaluation of the incidence of sensorineural component of hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media

Background: The sensorineural component of hearing loss either in form pure or Mixed components has since long been suspected to be a dreaded sequela chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM). aim this study is access the incidence (SNHL) mixed (MHL) amongst people suffering from both mucosal and squamosal variants CSOM.Methods: A prospective observational cohort (control group: contralateral ear) was conducted at E.N.T. department tertiary care center December 2020 September 2022. 149 patients ages 15-50 gender with unilateral CSOM were included study. other normal ear same patient taken as control ear. tone audiometry diseased ears frequencies 500,1000,2000 4000 kHz determine SNHL MHL.Results: mean age 26.54±8.75 years which, 79 males 70 females. duration disease 3.92±3.32. occurred 25.5% cases, while conductive MHL affected 69.8% 4.7 % respectively. Conclusions: significant number CSOM. Further research needs encouraged management should refined decrease disease-related morbidity.
