Abstract

Acute otitis media (AOM) is a middle ear infection caused by a virus or bacteria. AOM has 5 stages: occlusion, hyperemic, suppurative, perforation, and resolution. Hearing loss is one of the clinical symptoms of AOM. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between the AOM stage and the degree of hearing loss and how the two variables are related. The design of this study used cross sectional observation, which patients who met the inclusion criteria were subjected to do a pure tone audiometric examination. The results of the analysis the correlation between AOM stages and the degree of hearing loss using the Chi Square Pearsen test obtained P-Value = 0.001. The results of the analysis of the colleration between each AOM stage and the degree of hearing loss have different P-Value. The occlusion stage has a P-Value = 0,000, the hypermic stage has a P-Value = 0,000, the suppurative stage has a P-Value = 0.007, the perforation stage has a P-Value = 0,000, and the resolution stage has a P-value = 0,000. The conclusion from the results above correlation between all stages of AOM with the degree of hearing loss at ENT Poli RS Dustira is a significant because the P-Value > 0,005. The correlation that occurs between the AOM stage and the degree of hearing loss is caused by interference with the sound wave conductors. This disturbance of sound wave behavior is influenced by several components that interfere with physiological processes.
