The present paper, which is mainly concerned with disturbance of the ear in atrophic rhinitis, is based on the study of 34 patients with atrophic rhinitis operated on by maxillotarbinal plasty and 41 patients with chronic rhinosinusitis, who served as the control. In the present studies, the author has exmined the ear from various angles ; clinical study of the ear test by audiometer and X ray examination of the mastoid cells. The incidence of complicating disturbance of the ear among patients with atrophic rhinitis was about 40 %. Otitis media was complicated most frequently. As usual, the ears with disturbance of development of mastoid cell became chronic, if infected, and their hearing was disturbed. Otitis media was frequently found in patients with intranasal mucosal atrophy of high degree, but it was not related to crust formation or upper respiratory diseases. Disturbance of pneumatisation of the ear was found more frequently in the atrophic rhinitis. Parallelism existed to a certain degree between pneumatisation of the middle ear and that of the nasal sinuses, with some exceptions. The incidence of dry cerumen was higher among patients with atrophic rhinitis than among those with rhinosiriusitis. Operation by maxillo-turbinal plasty proved to have no influence on hearing ability.
