Aim: To critically appraise the tympanometric findings among children with adenoid hypertrophy in a Tertiary Health Care Centre. Materials and Methods: A prospective case-control study was carried out among newly diagnosed cases of adenoid enlargement in a Tertiary Health Care Centre between June 2018 and November 2018. Tympanometry was done on every study subject and each ear was studied as a single entity. Types B and C tympanograms were taken as indicators of OME. Data was collected and analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: 59 ears were studied of the thirty patients having adenoid hypertrophy within the study period. 13 (22.03%) ears had type C tympanogram, while 16 (27.12%) ears had type B. The total incidence of OME was 49.15%; there were 5 (16.67%) unilateral OME, while bilateral OME was 12 (40%). The study showed that adenoid hypertrophy was statistically significant with the OME. Conclusion: This study showed that enlarged adenoids is a significant risk factor for OME in children. There were more cases of bilateral OME than unilateral OME. This establishes the need for prompt hearing evaluation and management.
