Characteristics of hearing recovery in children with chronic otitis media with effusion after ventilation tube insertion
This study also investigated whether there was a difference in the mean hearing improvement between the left and right ear, how many months passed before recovery of eustachian tube function, and how long the aeration of the middle ear lasted. The children included in the study were between six and twelve years of age, diagnosed with COME by audiological processing (type B tympanometric recording and conductive hearing loss up to 40 dB on pure tone audiometry) and underwent surgical insertion of ventilation tubes in both ears. Patient data included preoperative tympanometric records, preoperative and postoperative tone aud...

Do Decreased Mastoid Pneumatization, Bilateral Involvement and Eustachian Tube Function Affect the Success of Type 1 Tympanoplasty?
CONCLUSION: Preoperative air-bone gap average is higher in ears with decreased mastoid pneumatization, and postoperative air-bone gap closure is higher in unilateral patients. Mastoid ventilation does not make a significant difference in the success of type 1 tympanoplasty. On the other hand, our results support that ET dysfunction can be effective in the occurrence of chronic otitis media (COM).PMID:38440578 | PMC:PMC10908985 | DOI:10.1007/s12070-023-04340-w (Source: Hand Surgery)
