Abstract:- Background: unilateral acute conductive hearing loss is a unique entity in such that in most of the cases the diagnoses is confirmed and in a majority of cases is amenable to treatment. The common causes include traumatic perforation of the ear drum and otitis media with effusion. Other causes include unilateral Otosclerosis and traumatic dislocation of ossicles. Lesser common causes include post traumatic concussion and temporal bone fracture. The presentation is usually an acute (defined arbitrarily as less than three weeks) onset of hearing loss and confirmed by examination. The diagnostic work up includes audio logical evaluation and imaging studies such as HRCT (high resolution computerized tomography). The management is tailored to the cause and in most of the cases the recovery is satisfactory. Objective: To enumerate and evaluate two hundred cases of unilateral conductive hearing loss and to consider the management strategies.
