Children With Persistent Otitis Media: Audiometric and Tympanometric Findings

Abstract: and tympanometric findings were compared among 129 patients with clinically manifest persistent otitis media (OM) with effusion. Ears with thick effusion (mucoid OM) had significantly larger air-bone gaps and higher prevalence of flat tympanograms than either of the thin effusion types (purulent [POM] or serous OM [SOM]) or ears with no effusion (dry). Ears with thin effusion (POM and SOM) had similar air-bone gaps, thresholds for air and bone conduction, and prevalences of flat and underpressure tympanograms… Show more

“…An apparent correlation between viscosity and the degree of CHL has been reported in patients (7), especially at the lower frequencies (8). In contrast, in humans (9-11) and experimental animals (4,12,13) no such correlation between the viscosity of the fluid in the middle ear and the degree of conductive hearing loss was found.…”
