“…It must be noted that tympanic membrane pathologies include minor retractions of the pars flaccida, which may be considered harmless. 13 Table III reveals the various tympanometric profiles in both groups. A type A tympanogram was obtained in 77.5 per cent of the narghile smokers' ears.…”

Narghile (water-pipe) smoking requires the generation of significant negative intrapharyngeal pressure, which may be transmitted to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. A total of 80 ears from regular narghile smokers were examined otoscopically and by tympanometry. Seventy ears from heavy cigarette smokers were similarly examined and served as a control group. There was a highly significant increase in the prevalence of attic retractions (P < 0.01) in the narghile smokers. The tympanometric changes were not significantly different between the two groups (P > 0.05).

“…2. Stangerup et al 165 A cohort born in 1955 was invited to a screening examination including otomicroscopy. Pars tensa pathology, including atrophy and myringosclerosis, was found in 6% of the ears in the untreated cohort and in 17% in the treated cohort.…”

“…According to some epidemiological investigations on non-selected populations, the prevalence of sclerotic plaques in the ear drum varies from 1.7% to 22.4% [8,9] . Intratympanic tympanosclerosis has been subdivided into "open" and "closed" varieties, depending on the integrity of the tympanic membrane [10,11] .…”

OBJECTIVE:Compare hearing outcomes between sparing of the myringosclerotic patch and removing it as a step in myringoplasty for chronic tubotympanic chronic otitis media with central perforation and myringosclerotic patch. MATERIALS and METHODS:A total of 94 patients having chronic suppurative otitis media (inactive stage) with central drum perforation and a myringosclerotic patch in the same ear were included in the study. They were divided into four groups according to the site of the myringosclerotic patch, and each group was randomly divided into two subgroups: subgroup A, where myringoplasty was done after removing the tympanosclerotic patch regardless of site, and subgroup B, where myringoplasty was done, leaving the tympanosclerotic patch in its place. Pure tone audiometry was done preoperatively and compared with that done 10 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS:A non significantly higher net hearing gain was noticed in subgroup A, irrespective of the site of the myringosclerotic patch. Significant results were seen only in cases where the myringosclerotic patch was connecting the handle of the malleus to the tympanic annulus in subgroup A compared to subgroup B. CONCLUSION:The site of the myringosclerotic patch and its inclusion as a step in the surgery largely affect the improvement of hearing after myringoplasty.
