✦ Synopsis

Objectives: To examine and report results for tympanoplasties performed in a tertiary-care city teaching hospital serving one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in the United States.

Study Design: Retrospective chart review.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent type I tympanoplasty from January 2009 through July 2010 were eligible. Charts were reviewed for preand postoperative drum status, patient characteristics, temporal bone CT scans and audiologic data. The primary outcome measure was successful repair, defined as an intact drum at last follow-up visit. A secondary outcome measure was postoperative hearing improvement, defined as a difference between airconduction and bone-conduction pure-tone averages of less than 20 dB.
