Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Brief Summary   The objectives of the study are to assess and compare the efficacy of endoscopic ear surgery with microscope assisted surgical techniques on disease clearance and to compare the postoperative hearing improvement after these techniques among the patients with chronic otitis media- squamous type.
The study hypothesis is ’Endoscope is better than microscope assisted ear surgery in terms of disease clearance and hearing improvement  in patients diagnosed with chronic suppurative otitis media (squamous type)’ .
