Abstract

The hearing threshold in atrophic tympanic membrane is assessed in 35 individuals. Assessment of hearing threshold in patients having atrophic tympanic membrane. Prospective clinical study. Tertiary referral centre. Thirty-five patients who had atrophic tympanic membrane in one ear and normal tympanic membrane of the other ear which was used as control, were selected Hearing threshold of patients having atrophic tympanic membrane. Twenty-nine patients with atrophic tympanic membrane had absolutely normal PTA of the ear and the opposite ear with normal tympanic membrane had similar normal PTA.
