This study is aimed to assess the outcome of Type-1Tympanoplasty in patients of Chronic Otitis Media (COM)- mucosal type and document the associated hearing gain and correlate it with the improvement in Quality of life (QOL) using COMOT (Chronic Otitis Media Outcome Test) 15 scoring. A hospital based prospective study was carried out in a tertiary care centre on 80 patients of mucosal type of COM. Patients were given COMOT 15 questionnaire to score the symptoms and pure tone audiometry (PTA) was done to assess hearing level. All patients underwent Type 1 Tympanoplasty via post aural approach. Patients were followed up regularly at 3rd, 6th and 12th month following surgery. QOL and PTA were reassessed during follow up visits. Among the 80 patients enrolled, 58.8% were females and 41.2% were males. The pre-operative mean value with standard deviation for ear discharge is 2.70 ± 1.02 which got reduced to 2.4 ± 1.07 by the end of 12th month. The preoperative average hearing loss in right ear was 25.15 ± 15.7 while in left ear it was 26.26 ± 16.7 which got reduced to 19.5 ± 11.01 and 20.5 ± 11.39 respectively. There was statistically significant improvement in QOL and hearing levels of all patients who underwent tympanoplasty as seen in the various parameters of postoperative COMOT 15 scoring with a value of 0.001. Tympanoplasty resulted in marked improvement in disease-specific QOL as well as their hearing. Hence it should be recommended to the patients with COM for improving the QOL.

In this study, we compared the results of tympanoplasty using the temporalis muscle fascia graft versus the crushed cartilage graft. In this randomized clinical trial study, 112 patients over 18 years old with chronic otitis media who underwent tympanoplasty were involved. The diagnosis of COM was made using medical history, clinical examination, audiometry tests including AC, BC and speech audiometry test.

In developing nations like India, chronic otitis media (COM) is a common middle ear ailment that has serious ramifications for both hearing and quality of life. Long-term inflammation of middle ear cavity and tympanic membrane are the hallmarks of COM, which can result in consequences like facial paralysis, labyrinthitis, hearing loss, and potentially fatal cerebral abscesses. The effect of COM on vestibular function is still unknown.

Unlabelled: The purpose of our study is to assess the psychometric measurement properties of various questionnaires for quality of life in adult patients with chronic otitis media (COM) using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis protocol and the COnsensus based Standard for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. A thorough electronic search was performed with a date limitation of 23rd September 2021 using the following five electronic databases: OVID, Embase, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Scopus. Only full-text articles in the English language about the development or validation of a self-administered measurement instrument to assess QOL in COM patients (≥ 18 years) that assesses one or more of the measurement properties developed by the COSMIN guidelines were included in the study.

The science of endoscopic ear surgery is gaining popularity and increasing momentum with reported outcomes comparable to conventional microscopic ear surgery. Endoscopic ear surgery has numerous advantages including access to visualization of occult areas of middle ear like sinus tympani. The endoscopic transcanal mastoidectomy via conventional drilling technique(Inside-out) has also established itself as a successful procedure with excellent post-operative outcomes.
