Traditionally, it has been accepted that conductive deafness involves a breakdown in the mechanical conduction of sound, whilst the cochlea remains unaffected. Over a ten year period, it was noticed that a number of patients, mainly children, displayed a mild, high-tone sensorineural component to their conductive loss, whereas others tested under identical conditions with parallel etiologies did not. A sample of 80 children with chronic otitis media and sensorineural involvement was selected from Prince Henry's Hospital and Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, and was compared with 80 children with the same histories, but whose audiograms did not display any sensorineural involvement. The results of this study indicate a need for further research into: 1. The establishment of an internationally acceptable terminology. 2. Early detection of chronic otitis media. 3. Medical/surgical management. 4. The effects on hearing, caused by fluctuating nature of chronic otitis media. 5. Educational and social management.
传统上，人们一直认为传导性耳聋涉及声音的机械传导故障，而耳蜗不受影响。在十年期间，人们注意到一些患者，主要是儿童，在其传导性听力损失中表现出轻度的高频感音神经性成分，而其他在相同条件下病因相似的患者则没有。从墨尔本的亨利王子医院和阿尔弗雷德医院选取了80名患有慢性中耳炎且有感音神经性病变的儿童样本，并与80名有相同病史但听力图未显示任何感音神经性病变的儿童进行比较。这项研究的结果表明有必要进一步研究：1. 建立国际认可的术语。2. 慢性中耳炎的早期检测。3. 医学/外科治疗。4. 慢性中耳炎的波动性质对听力的影响。5. 教育和社会管理。
