  ABSTRACT: Aim: This study was carried out to assess association between Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM), to identify possible risk factors and determine correlation of duration of CSOM and incidence of SNHL. Material and Method: The study consisted of 100 patients of either sex between 15 and 40 years of age, suffering from unilateral CSOM for the past three months or more, the normal ear served as control. Results: This study showed duration of symptoms is 18% patients for 5 - 10 years and below 5 years in 73% patients. It was found that mean BC thresholds were significantly higher in the diseased ears as compared to the control ears. Though the higher frequencies are more affected than the lower frequencies, in subtotal and attic perforations the speech frequencies seemed to be maximally affected. Conclusion: CSOM should be diagnosed early and should be managed effectively so as to prevent the chances of developing SNHL.
