Introduction:
Otitis
media with effusion is the common middle ear mucosa disease in
children. Hearing
loss associated with otitis media with
effusion in
children is important because it can affect speech and language
development.The
aim of this study was to determine the hearing thresholds of children
with otitis media with effusion and determine the hearing loss
profile.
Methods:
Children
of school age with otitis media with effusion were included in the
study. Bone and
airway conduction thresholds were obtained using standard audiometry
procedures.The
results were classified and the audiometric profile groups were
determined.
Results:
50
children (87 ears) aged between 5-14 years were included in the
study. Air
conduction thresholds averaged for 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz were
in the range of 3–67
dB HL with a mean of 22,6 dB HL.The mean bone conduction thresholds
were defined as a range of -7dB HL to 15dB HL and a mean value of 2.7
dB HL. Five audiometric profiles were determined. 28
ears normal hearing (<16 dB), 32 ears slight hearing loss (16-25
dB), 8 ears mild hearing loss (26-30dB), 17 ears moderate hearing
loss (31-50dB) and 2 ears moderatly severe hearing loss (51-70dB) was
determined.
Conclusions:
In
children with otitis media with effusion, pure tone hearing
thresholds ranging from normal to severe hearing loss can be
determined.

Giriş
: Efüzyonlu otitis
media çocuklarda sık görülen orta kulak mukoza hastalığıdır.
Çoçuklarda efüzyonlu otitis media ile ilişkili işitme kaybı dil
gelişimini etkileyebildiğinden önem arzetmektedir. Bu çalışmanın
amacı; efüzyonlu otitis medialı çocukların işitme eşiklerini
saf ses odyogram ile belirlemek ve işitme kaybı profilini
saptamaktır.
Yöntem:
Efüzyonlu otitis medialı okul çağındaki çocuklar çalışmaya
dahil edildi. Kemik ve hava yolu iletim eşikleri standart odyometri
prosedürleri kullanılarak elde edildi. Elde edilen sonuçlar
sınıflama yapılarak odyometrik profil grupları belirlendi.
Bulgular:
5-14 yaş aralığında
50 çocuk (87 kulak ) çalışma dahil edildi. 500Hz, 1000Hz ve
2000Hz de ortalama hava iletim eşikleri 3 dB HL ile 67dB HL
aralığındaydı ve ortalama degeri 22,6 dB HL olarak belirlendi.
Ortalama kemik iletim eşikleri -7dB HL ile 15dB HL aralığında ve
ortalama değeri 2,7 dB HL olarak belirlendi. Beş odyometrik profil
saptandı. 28 kulakta normal işitme (<16 dB), 32 kulakta çok
hafif işitme kaybı (16-25 dB) , 8 kulakta hafif derecede işitme
kaybı (26-30dB), 17 kulakta orta derecede işitme kaybı (31-50dB)
ve 2 kulakta ileri derecede işitme kaybı (51-70dB) saptandı.
Sonuç:
Efüzyonlu otitis
medialı çocuklarda normalden ileri derecede işitme kaybına kadar
değişen saf ses işitme eşikleri saptanabilmektedir.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 6 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
