Abstract

Background and Aim: A rare fungal infection, mucormycosis, has become more common in patients recovering from COVID in its second wave in India. The proximity and easy access to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube from paranasal sinuses alarms the need for early detec­tion of middle ear involvement. Hence, the study was carried out to determine the influence of mucormycosis on Immittance and otoacoustic emissions. Methods: eleven rhino orbital mucormycosis patients aged 40-60 years participated in the study. Middle ear evaluation was carried out with the help of Immittance and otoacoustic emissi­ons. Results: It was found that 4/11 (36.36%) parti­cipants had abnormal Immittance and absent oto­acoustic emissions, indicating middle ear dys­function. 3/4 participants had middle ear dys­function in the ear ipsilateral to the side of the infection. Conclusion: The study results reveal a rare cha­nce of middle ear involvement in mucormycosis patients, which calls for the crucial role of the audiologist in the early detection of middle ear dysfunction. Keywords: Mucormycosis; immittance; otoacoustic emissions

新冠肺炎引起的黑真菌:中耳功能的听力学评估
背景和目的:一种罕见的真菌感染,毛霉菌病,在印度第二波新冠肺炎康复患者中变得更加常见。通过耳咽管从鼻窦进入中耳的距离很近,也很容易,这提醒了早期检测中耳病变的必要性。因此,本研究旨在确定毛霉菌病对免疫性和耳声发射的影响。方法:11例鼻眼眶毛霉菌病患者,年龄40-60岁。在Imittance和耳声发射的帮助下进行中耳评估。结果:11例患者中有4例(36.36%)出现听力异常和耳声发射缺失,提示中耳功能异常。3/4的参与者在感染侧同侧耳朵出现中耳功能障碍。结论:研究结果揭示了毛霉菌病患者中耳受累的罕见情况,这要求听力学家在早期发现中耳功能障碍方面发挥关键作用。关键词:毛霉菌病;导抗;耳声发射
