Does post operative SNHL due to mastoidectomy increase when ossiculoplasty is combined with it.

Dr. Liju Rajan

Abstract :

Aims and Objectives: Sensory neural Heå Loss (SNHL) after tympanomastoid surgery is often reported by many authors. The severity of this complication is often less emphasized by the surgeon as well as the patients because it is often presents as a temporary threshold shift in bone conduction, because the patients who undergo surgery are often heå impaired and are not aware of previous bone conduction, and also because it usually presents as high frequency heå loss which may not affect day to day life. In some cases it may present as a permanent threshold shift in mid frequency which may affect quality of life. Method: Post operative pure tone audiometry is collected on 1st month 3rd month and 6th month.Bone conduction of 0.5k, 1k and 2k are noted and an average of this 3 frequency is calculated. This average of pre–op, 1st visit, 2nd visit and 3rd visit for different surgeries compared Conclusion: A temporary threshold shift after heå loss is noted in normal heå frequencies in 1st and 2nd.
