Myringoplasty was performed in both the dry as well as wet middle ear and the uptake was 86.67%,Figure 1 .Two quadrant perforation had the maximum graft uptake and overall the P value was <0.0001,Table 1 .Air-Bone gap post op status was >10 DB in 38 patients(P value -0.0035),10-20 DB in 20 patients(P value-0.1373) and >20 DB in 2 patients(P value-0.0331) Table 2 .Causes of Failure was analysed and it was found that none of the patients has Anterior Blunting. In three patient’s pre-op discharges might be the cause of failure. Three patients gave a history of exposure to loud sound and in the remaining three the ET dysfunction might be the cause.
