It is not realistic to expect that hearing will return to normal and tinnitus will disappear immediately after surgery. The course of otitis media is long, and long-term inflammatory stimulation can affect the inner ear system, and patients can have varying degrees of sensorineural hearing impairment and tinnitus. Although otitis media tympanoplasty can completely remove the lesion and reconstruct the auditory bone, it can only partially or mostly restore the hearing loss caused by damage to the auditory bone and perforation of the eardrum, and it is not effective for sensorineural hearing damage, nor can it directly reduce tinnitus symptoms. Nevertheless, the removal of the lesion can be helpful for the indirect recovery of tinnitus.
