Abstract
The ears of 72 patients, formed part of the computer controlled respiratory allergy group of the University of Turku [Finland], were analyzed with tympanometry and audiometry to diagnose secretory otitis media. Effusion was found in 3 ears (2 patients) and a pathological tympanogram in 15 ears (10 patients). The incidence of secretory otitis media was 3% and of pathological tympanograms 14%. Immediate allergy is apparently not an etiological factor in secretory otitis media.Keywords
