How to check whether got otitis media

Examination 1: hearing test: tuning fork test and pure music listening valve test results showed conductive deafness. The hearing loss is positive or negative, and the most severe is about 40dB HL. Because the volume of effusion often changes, the hearing threshold may fluctuate. Hearing loss is mainly caused by low frequency. However, due to the changes of the middle ear structure and the impedance of the two ears, the hearing of high frequency air conduction and bone conduction can also be reduced objectively. After the effusion is discharged, the hearing will be improved.

Examination 2: fiber otoscope examination: in patients with otitis media, fiber otoscope examination showed that the loose part of the tympanic membrane or the whole tympanic membrane was invaginated, which showed that the light cone was shortened, deformed or disappeared, the malleus handle was displaced backward and upward, the short process of the chubby bone was obviously protruded, and the angle between the anterior and posterior plica became smaller.

Examination 3: CT scan. This examination is one of the most indispensable examinations in the treatment of otitis media. It can clearly observe the pathological changes in the middle ear and provide a solid basis for the treatment.
