Adenoid hypertrophy is a typical cause of adenoid breathings, nasal obstruction as well as snoring. We observed that the majority of the cases presented with Decreased hearing followed by Earache, Nasal obstruction, snoring, sore throat etc. Majority of the cases presented with adenoid facies. In our study, we evaluated the study subjects according to their tympanometry findings. Majority of the subjects in the study in both the groups presented with B type of tympanogram (69.83% in group A and 64.58% in group B), followed by Type C (30.17% in group A as well as 35.42% in group B). According to our observations, the majority of the study subjects presented with Retracted TM (70.83% Vs 66.67%), followed by dullness over the tympanic membrane (62.5% Vs 70.83%). Air-fluid level and Pneumatic otoscopic findings were rarely observed. Majority of the study subjects presented with bilateral SOM (67.64% Vs 45.83%), followed by right-sided SOM (25% Vs 33.33%) and left-sided SOM (8.33% Vs 20.83%).
