Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media is one of the leading causes of hearing loss
affecting 65-330 million people worldwide and out of which minimum of 50 percent of the
population are suffering from the hearing loss. It is a chronic inflammatory process of middle
ear characterized by recurrent episodes of ear discharge and hearing loss due to permanent
tympanic membrane perforation. Our study is aimed to known the improvement in hearing
threshold after endoscopic type1 tympanoplasty with objectives-1) Selection of patients of
chronic suppurative otitis media with conductive hearing loss to undergo endoscopic
tympanoplasty 2) calculate the hearing threshold pre operatively by pure tone audiometry 3)
Calculate the hearing threshold post operative and compare with the pre operative hearing
threshold by pure tone audiometry in patients who underwent endoscopic type 1
tympanoplasty.
