    Acute and chronic suppurative otitis media can cause high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. This study found significant cochlear involvement and hearing loss in patients with otitis media compared to controls.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Audiology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Otitis media, encompassing acute purulent otitis media (POM) and chronic suppurative otitis media (COM), is a common condition affecting the middle ear.
    • Previous research suggests a link between otitis media and hearing impairment, but the specific mechanisms and extent of cochlear involvement require further elucidation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the association between acute purulent otitis media (POM) and chronic suppurative otitis media (COM) and high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss.
    • To evaluate cochlear involvement and hearing threshold shifts in patients with POM and COM using electrophysiological methods and large-scale data analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot study utilizing electrophysiological methods in selected patients and chinchillas demonstrated temporary and permanent threshold shifts in POM.

  • A multi-center, cross-sectional study analyzed data from 475 ears with bilateral COM, 607 ears with unilateral COM, and 607 control ears.

    • Main Results:

    • In POM, temporary and permanent threshold shifts of basal cochlear turn involvement were observed.
    • Statistically significant hearing losses (15 dB or greater) were found in 43% of unilateral COM and 42% of bilateral COM ears, with odds ratios eight times higher than controls.
    • More severe hearing losses (30 dB or greater) were present in 16% of unilateral COM and 17% of bilateral COM ears, showing seven and ten times the odds compared to controls, respectively.

    Conclusions:

    • Both acute purulent otitis media and chronic suppurative otitis media are significant contributors to high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss.
    • The findings underscore the importance of considering otitis media as a cause of hearing impairment and highlight the need for clinical vigilance and management.
