 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Influence on the secretion of otitis media (report of 41 cases) [Abstract] Objective To investigate the treatment of secretory otitis media. Methods 41 patients (46 ears) with secretory otitis media in patients with pure tone audiometry to do, then underwent eustachian tube tympanic membrane puncture fluid and swallowing blowing treatment, and were tested puncture and ventilation After the hearing threshold. Results of the hearing threshold changes before and after treatment was significant difference (P lt;0.001). Conclusion audiogram tympanic effusion is inconsistent, causing fluid to 4,1,2 kHz hearing loss were heavier, fluid on hearing with the course, the nature and amount of fluid had no correlation, emphasizing the continuous ventilation puncture done after the treatment significance. [Keywords:] attic effusion; tympanic membrane puncture; Eustachian tube swallow air purge; hearing threshold Also known as secretory otitis media otitis media with effusion, or catarrhal otitis media, is a common ear diseases, according to the disease can be divided into acute and chronic (3 to 6 months) 2. When not in acute otitis media with effusion receive timely treatment, and may become chronic secretory otitis media and delayed healing, severe middle ear adhesions may occur, tympanic sclerosis and other complications [1], is a major reason for deafness. Undergraduate since May 2008 -2009 on May collect data integrity 41 patients with secretory otitis media (46 ears) hearing test before and after treatment line, summed up the puncture underwent treatment and the importance of continuous ventilation. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information on 41 cases (46 ears) with secretory otitis media patients, 27 males and 14 females, male to female ratio was 1.93:1; the youngest 10 years old, maximum of 70 years, average 40 years old; course of a minimum of 3 days, the most length of 6 to 7 weeks of treatment accounted for the majority
