Résumé
Otoacoustic emissions (OAE) are a common screening tool to evaluate cochlear function. Middle ear dysfunction has been shown to impact results of otoacoustic emission testing, but there are limited data on the effect of tympanostomy tubes on OAE. The purpose of this study was to determine whether tympanostomy tube placement significantly improved OAE. A retrospective review of charts was completed for patients younger than 18 years old who underwent tympanostomy tube placement from January 1, 2018 to September 1, 2023 and had preoperative and postoperative OAE testing within 6 months of surgery. The primary variable was presence of OAE preoperatively and postoperatively. Chi-square analysis and t test were used for statistical analysis. A total of 212 ears were examined from 111 pediatric patients who underwent tympanostomy tube placement during the study period. Presence of OAE at 3000, 4000, and 5000 Hz were all noted to significantly increase following tympanostomy tube placement, with OAE presence increasing from approximately 27.8% of the sample preoperatively to 95.3% postoperatively at 3000 and 4000 Hz. Patients who noted improvement had a significantly higher proportion of type B tympanogram preoperatively, compared to a higher proportion of type A tympanogram noted in patients who did not note improvement. Tympanostomy tubes can significantly improve otoacoustic emissions in patients with middle ear dysfunction.
