Abstract

Objective: Rhinological or otological diseases can negatively affect eustachian tube functions and cause eustachian tube dysfunction. Hearing loss can be seen in patients with eustachian tube dysfunction. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of acute or chronic rhinosinusitis on eustachian tube dysfunction with the Eustachian Tube Dysfunction Questionnaire (ETDQ-7) and perception of hearing impairment and disability with the Amsterdam Inventory for Auditory Disability and Handicap (AIADH).
Material and Methods: This study was carried out with 33 acute rhinosinusitis, 32 chronic rhinosinusitis (study groups), and 32 undiagnosed (control group) participants who applied to the ENT outpatient clinic. All participants filled out the ETDQ-7 and AIADH.
Results: It was determined that the participants in the control group had lower ETDQ-7 and AIADH scale scores than the scale scores of the participants in the acute rhinosinusitis and chronic rhinosinusitis groups (p<0.05). There was no significant difference between the ETDQ-7 and AIADH scale scores between the acute and chronic rhinosinusitis groups (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Rhinosinusitis can cause eustachian tube dysfunction and problems in hearing perception by negatively affecting eustachian tube functions and hearing perception.
