Surgical correlation for one-sided conductive hearing loss with an intact eardrum

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Patients with one-sided conductive or mixed hearing loss and an intact tympanic membrane who have an average air–bone gap over 20 dB will undergo exploratory tympanotomy. Surgeons will document intraoperative findings—such as stapes fixation from otosclerosis, ossicular discontinuity, congenital ossicular anomalies, or tympanosclerosis—and compare them with preoperative clinical and audiologic impressions. People with sensorineural hearing loss, chronic otitis media, tympanic membrane perforation, or prior ear surgery are excluded to focus on true conductive causes. The work is performed at Al-Azhar University Hospital in Asyut and relies on direct surgical inspection for definitive diagnosis.
