Previous investigations about the possiblee relationship between chronic supurative otitis media (CSOM) and senrorineural hearing loss (SNHL) have contradictory results and conclusions. A retropective study designed to evaluate SNHL at 1000 Hz and 6000 Hz frequncies related to CSOM and its association with age , disease duration and cholesteatoma. Charts of 124 patients with unilateral CSOM undergoing ear surgery from January 2003 to August 2008 reviewed. Inclusion criteria were no history of head trauma, meningitis, post-traumatic tympanic membran perforation, acoustic trauma, posible labyrintine fistula and using systemic drugs have possible cause to SNHL. Audiograms, ages and disease durations obtained from these charts were analyzed. SNHL occurred in 12 patients. There were not significant relation between age, disease duration, existence of cholesteatoma and SNHL at 1000Hz and 6000 Hz frequencies in the patients. We conclude that CSOM may cause SNHL, but in vast majority of patients this loss is not clinicaly significant.
