A total of 216 patients with the injured tympanic membrane were examined and treated during the last 5 years. 198 (91.6%) patients presenting with traumatic otitis were found to have pathological changes in the nose and paranasal sinuses. In patients who applied for medical aid soon (within 1-2 weeks) after injury to the tympanic membrane, the resulting perforation was closed with the use of hen's egg amniotic membrane. Audiological examination demonstrated that 84.7% of traumatic tympanic membrane ruptures were associated with acute sensorinerual loss of hearing.
