Chronic otitis media ,which is identifed by tympanic membran perforation,suppurative ear discharge from the external ear canal,usually conductive type hearing loss,for more than three months ve resistant to medical treatment is an otitis media type.İn this study we investigated relationship between middle ear pathologies and hearing loss in 112 patients operated due to chronic otitis media between 1999 january and 1999 december in our clinic.Our patients were classified in two different groups as cholesteatomatous and non-cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media.Tympanic membran pathologies are classified as central,attic,total perforations,retraction and intact tympanic membran.Ossicles are classified as functional,destructed,no hearing bony structures and ossicular movement limited or fixed.Audiological tests were performed.Pure tone hearing treshould were determined.Effects about the hearing function of tympanic membran and ossiculer chaine pathologies are investigated.
