TL;DRAbstract

Background: Chronic otitis media (COM) has assumed a worldwide importance. In the developing countries, its prevalence is up to 72 cases per 1000 population constituting a heavy disease burden. Hearing loss is one of the most common complaint for which patients with COM seek medical attention. The conductive hearing impairment as well as sensorineural impairment resulting from this condition has been well acknowledged in the literature. The question is 'what is the effect of this disease on the cochlear function of patients with squamous and mucosal type of chronic otitis media'. An analysis of this can help to bridge the gap in the current literature. Aims & Objectives: To study the pattern and severity of sensorineural hearing loss in mucosal versus squamous COM and to find out its relation with the duration of the disease. Materials & Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted in a medical college hospital. 30 cases each of mucosal and squamous chronic otitis media with senso
