Sensorineural damage in chronic suppurative otitis media with and without cholesteatoma: a comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common otolaryngology disease, and cholesteatoma is the most aggressive type of CSOM. CSOM with and without cholesteatoma both result in a certain level of sensorineural damage, which can be categorized as air conduction (AC), bone conduction (BC), or air-bone gap (ABG), and AC, BC, and ABG are affected by many factors. Further analyses and comparisons of factors affecting sensorineural damage in CSOM with and without cholesteatoma were conducted in this study.

Methods

A comparative study was conducted of 79 patients with CSOM (39 with cholesteatoma and 40 without cholesteatoma) whose diagnoses were mainly based on chronic middle ear infections and hearing loss (HL), typical computed tomography (CT) and surgical finding
