(dirty water)

CSOM- Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media(cont.)
Pathology;
Criteria of CSOM:
•Loss of hearing,
•Discharge from ear ,
•Perforation of Tm.
Loss of hearing:
Mild conductive type of hearing loss- Small perforation
Moderate conductive type of hearing loss – Largeperforation
Sensory neural hearing loss - when Cochlea is affected in
Long standing case.

TYMPANOPLASTY
Prerequisites of Tympanoplasty -
Advantages of Tympanoplasty
•To make the ear dry by preventing further
infection in the ear.
•To improve hearing & to prevent further
deteriorating of hearing.
• To prevent complication.
•For using hearing aid.
