Analysis on the Hearing Test Results for Patients with Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media

Objective To learn the audiological characteristics of chronic suppurative otitis media patients.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the audiologic data of 382 patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media treated in our hospital from August 2005 to December 2008.Results The number of male chronic suppurative otitis media patients was more than female patients,and single ear infections are more than infections of both ears.The onset of the disease could be at any age.Most of the patients had a moderate conductive hearing loss.All kinds of tympanogram were found,and ear canal volume of the patients was enlarged.Conclusion Chronic suppurative otitis media is a common disease of the ear,which needs timely treatment,and audiological tests are important in guiding treatment plans and assessing prognosis.
