Abstract

Hearing results of 188 ears after tympanoplasty during last 4 years were evaluated.
According to the classification of Clinical Otology Japan, the hearing results of tympanoplasty was successful in 90% of type I tympanoplasty, 71% of type III tympanoplasty, 56% of type IV tympanoplasty, and 79% on the average. We suggested that, the case in which the post-operative hearing level became deterioruted, should be excluded from the successful group in this classification.
