Abstract :Past studies emphasized that maxillary expansion had a positive effect on impaired hearing due to otitis media with effusion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(OME);. The goal of this study was to compare the improvement of hearing loss degrees of patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RME); and patients watched for spontaneous resolution. This study was conducted with audiometric and tympanometric records of 22 patients with OME. Twelve patients had OME and needed RME and 10 patients had OME and were observed for spontaneous resolution. In-group 1, records were taken before expansion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T0);, just after RME insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T1);, after the retention period insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T2);, and 6 months after expansion insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(T3);. In-group 2, T0 and T2 records were taken. In-group 1, hearing levels improved and air-bone gaps insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ABG); decreased significantly after RME insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. This improvement showed a relapse with T2 and T3 records. In-group 2, no significant change was observed in hearing levels but ABG levels decreased significantly insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. The extent of healing level was not significantly different between the maxillary expansion and control groups when T2-T0 records were compared. The results of this study indicated that RME improved hearing levels and decreased ABG after expansion in children with OME; however, a relapse occurred after the retention. ABG levels in both groups exhibited similar decreases after retention.
