Brief Summary   This is a randomized controlled double blinded study to compare the occurence of hearing loss following spinal anaesthesia between two sizes of quinckes babcock needle and 27 gauge size pencil point needle among 66 patients undergoing subarachnoid block for lower abdominal and perineal surgeries. The primary outcome of this study is to compare the occurence of hearing loss by pure tone audiometry and the secondary outcome is to find the incidence of post dural puncture headache.
