Abstract
Background : Pure-tone audiometry can play an important role in predicting the severity of the hearing loss which will in turn reflect on the integrity of the tympano-ossicular system. It is a record that can be kept for future reference. This will help the surgeon in preoperative planning before middle ear surgeries. The patient can also be informed regarding their hearing status and counselled about the results of middle ear surgery. It also helps in assessing post-operative improvement.
