Abstract:

In this case report, osteopathic manipulative treatment restored hearing to an 8-year-old female suffering from conductive hearing loss. Numerous factors can result in hearing loss. In children and adolescents, mild or greater hearing loss occurs with a prevalence of 3.1%.1 Current osteopathic literature focuses on conductive hearing loss due to middle ear effusion (MEE).This case report examines an 8-year-old female presumed to have permanent conductive hearing loss without MEE after a traumatic ATV accident. The use of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) resulted in complete resolution of the patient’s conductive hearing loss. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first case report documenting the successful use of OMT to treat conductive hearing loss without MEE. Being able to recognize and understand the connection between the primary respiratory mechanism (PRM), which includes the cranial bones and nerves, allows an osteopathic physician to provide a unique approach to patient care and the use of OMT as a treatment modality for conductive hearing loss should be considered.
