Abstract :

OBJECTIVES: To document heå improvement after ear surgeries by means of PTA and to compare the outcome in cases of both active and inactive CSOM METHODS: A total of 60 cases, 30 patients of active CSOM and 30 patients of inactive CSOM were compiled after applying the inclusion and exclusion criterias. All the cases underwent detailed otoscopic and audiometric examination. All were treated surgically and were followed up after 3 months. RESULTS: Compå the preop and 3 months postop PTA, presence of discharge at the time of surgery does not interfere with the outcome. Although the mean PTA in inactive type is bit higher than the active type, the difference between them is not statistically significant (P value > 0.05).
