Abstract :

Objectives: In this study we evaluate the various etiologies of traumatic tympanic memane perforations of ear and their prognosis. Methods: A prospective study of 50 case subjects was conducted from MAY 2018 till JUNE 2016 at ENT OPD of GOVT ENT Hospital , Visakhapatnam Results: In this study, average time taken for healing was 34.78 days. The shortest time taken was 21 days and longest was 75 days. An improvement in heå was noted by the audiometry report of both the groups, conservative treatment (18.375dB) and myringoplasty group (19.44 dB). Conclusion: There was no significant difference in time taken for the tympanic memane to heal completely in both the conservative (34.78 days) and myringoplasty group (33.83 days). It was concluded that there was an improvement in heå in both groups, 18.375dB and 19.44 dB respectively.
