Sensorineural hearing loss in chronic otitis media.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether chronic suppurative otitis media may cause sensorineural hearing loss. METHODS The files of 121 patients with unilateral chronic suppurative otitis media were reviewed in a retrospective study. Air conduction and bone conduction threshold averages were calculated over the speech frequencies (500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz). Thresholds at 4 kHz were examined sepa...
متن کاملsensorineural hearing loss in chronic otitis media
introduction: conductive hearing loss due to chronic otitis media (com) can be treated by surgery. com, however, may be associated with functional damage to the inner ear. sensorineural hearing loss (snhl) due to com has been found to be significant by some authors, whereas it has been considered negligible by others. the present study aimed to answer the question does com cause snhl ? methods:...
متن کاملBilateral otitis media and hearing loss in an adult.
Bilateral otitis media, an uncommon entity in adults, may represent the initial manifestation of a life-threatening systemic disease. Prompt recognition and treatment of the underlying disease is needed to preserve auditory function and prevent involvement of other organ systems. We present the case of a thirty-four-year-old male with bilateral serous otitis media and progressive hearing loss, ...
متن کامل[Analysis of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media].
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between chronic suppurative otitis media and sensorineural hearing loss. METHOD The files of 147 patients with unilateral chronic suppurative media were reviewed in a retrospective study. Differences between diseased and control ear bone conduction thresholds were analysed by the paired student's t-test over the four frequencies (0.5 kHz, 1.0 kHz, 2.0 kHz,...
متن کاملFrequency of Sensorineural hearing loss in chronic suppurative otitis media.
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is defined as chronic otorrhea (i.e., lasting > 6-12 weeks) through a perforated tympanic membrane. It is generally associated with some degree of conductive hearing loss. However, recurrent ear infections due to perforated eardrum result in absorption of toxins and macromolecules into the cochlea leading to sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). We planned t...
