Here is a detailed analysis of the audiological evaluation report:
Arya Speech and Hearing Clinic - Audiological Evaluation
Patient Details
| Field | Information |
|---|---|
| Patient Name | Md. Gulzar |
| Age / Sex | 24 years / Male |
| Date | 09/07/2025 |
| Referred by | Dr. A. Gaurav, MS (ENT) |
| Complaint | Handwritten - partially legible (likely hearing-related complaint) |
| Audiologist | Atul Arya, Consultant Audiologist |
Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) Results
The audiogram plots hearing thresholds in decibels (dB HL) across frequencies from 250 Hz to 8000 Hz.
Right Ear (R) - Red symbols
| Frequency (Hz) | Air Conduction (dB) | Bone Conduction (dB) |
|---|---|---|
| 250 | ~10 | ~10 |
| 500 | ~10 | ~10 |
| 1000 | ~10 | ~10 |
| 2000 | ~10 | ~10 |
| 4000 | ~10 | ~10 |
| 8000 | ~10 | ~10 |
Left Ear (L) - Blue/Black symbols
| Frequency (Hz) | Air Conduction (dB) | Bone Conduction (dB) |
|---|---|---|
| 250 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
| 500 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
| 1000 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
| 2000 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
| 4000 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
| 8000 | ~15 | ~10-15 |
Interpretation:
- Both ears show thresholds between 10-15 dB HL across all tested frequencies.
- Normal hearing is defined as 0-25 dB HL. Both ears fall well within this range.
- Air-bone gap (ABG) is negligible in both ears - no significant gap between air and bone conduction thresholds.
- This rules out conductive hearing loss.
Pure Tone Average (PTA) - 500-1kHz-2kHz:
- Right Ear: ~10 dB HL (Normal)
- Left Ear: ~15 dB HL (Normal)
Impedance Audiometry / Tympanometry
| Parameter | Right Ear | Left Ear |
|---|---|---|
| Tympanogram Type | A | A |
| Canal Volume | Not recorded | Not recorded |
| Peak Compliance | Not recorded | Not recorded |
| Pressure Peak | Not recorded | Not recorded |
Type A tympanogram is the normal pattern. It indicates:
- Normal middle ear pressure
- Normal mobility of the tympanic membrane
- Normal Eustachian tube function
- No evidence of middle ear effusion, perforation, or ossicular chain disruption
Tuning Fork Tests
| Test | Right Ear | Left Ear |
|---|---|---|
| Weber Test | Midline (not lateralizing) | - |
| Rinne Test | Results noted but not fully legible | Results noted |
A midline Weber and positive Rinne (AC > BC) in both ears is consistent with normal hearing or symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss - in this case, consistent with normal bilateral hearing.
Provisional Diagnosis
BIL WNL - Bilateral Within Normal Limits Tymp - BIL Type A - Bilateral Type A Tympanogram
This means:
- Hearing is normal bilaterally
- Middle ear function is normal bilaterally
- No conductive, sensorineural, or mixed hearing loss detected
Recommendation
F/U - Follow Up
The patient is advised to follow up with the referring ENT physician (Dr. A. Gaurav). Despite normal audiological findings, the patient was referred for evaluation - the ENT may need to evaluate other possible causes of any presenting complaints (e.g., tinnitus, ear fullness, vertigo) which may not be captured by pure tone audiometry alone.
Clinical Summary
This is a normal audiological evaluation for a 24-year-old male. All tests - pure tone audiometry, tympanometry, and tuning fork tests - are within normal limits bilaterally. The audiogram shows excellent hearing sensitivity in both ears with no air-bone gap, confirming intact middle ear mechanics and cochlear/neural auditory function. If the patient has subjective hearing complaints, further testing such as OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions), ABR/BERA, or speech audiometry may be warranted, all of which are offered by this clinic.

Here is the detailed analysis of this tympanometry printout from the Sentiero Desktop impedance audiometer:
Tympanometry Report - Detailed Analysis
Device: Sentiero Desktop 552114
Date: 09/07/2026
Probe Tone: 226 Hz (standard probe tone for adults)
Numerical Results
| Parameter | Right Ear (R) | Left Ear (L) | Normal Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tympanogram Type | A | A | A = Normal |
| Peak Compliance (Ytm) | 0.81 ml | 0.96 ml | 0.3 - 1.6 ml |
| Peak Pressure (MPP) | +2 daPa | -5 daPa | -100 to +50 daPa |
| Ear Canal Volume (ECV) | 0.72 ml | 0.60 ml | 0.6 - 1.5 ml (adults) |
| Tympanometric Width (TW) | 60 daPa | 58 daPa | 50 - 110 daPa |
| Test Time | 13:16 | 13:15 | - |
Parameter-by-Parameter Interpretation
1. Tympanogram Type - Type A (Both Ears)
- A sharp, well-defined single peak centered at or near 0 daPa.
- The peak falls squarely within the normative reference box on both graphs.
- Meaning: Normal tympanic membrane mobility, normal middle ear pressure, intact and mobile ossicular chain.
2. Peak Compliance (Ytm)
- Right: 0.81 ml - Normal (well within 0.3-1.6 ml range)
- Left: 0.96 ml - Normal (well within 0.3-1.6 ml range)
- Neither ear shows reduced compliance (which would suggest middle ear effusion/stiffness) nor excessive compliance (which would suggest a flaccid or hypermobile TM, seen in ossicular discontinuity).
3. Peak Pressure (MPP)
- Right: +2 daPa - Essentially at atmospheric pressure, perfectly normal.
- Left: -5 daPa - Slightly negative but well within normal limits (-100 to +50 daPa).
- Meaning: Eustachian tube is functioning normally in both ears. No negative pressure buildup suggesting Eustachian tube dysfunction.
4. Ear Canal Volume (ECV)
- Right: 0.72 ml - Normal for an adult (typical range 0.6-1.5 ml)
- Left: 0.60 ml - Normal lower end, but acceptable.
- Clinical significance: An abnormally large ECV (>2 ml) would suggest a tympanic membrane perforation or patent PE tube. Normal ECV here rules this out.
5. Tympanometric Width (TW)
- Right: 60 daPa - Normal (normal range 50-110 daPa in adults)
- Left: 58 daPa - Normal
- TW reflects the sharpness/width of the peak. A wide TW (>110 daPa) suggests middle ear fluid (Type B pattern tendency). Normal TW here confirms no effusion.
Curve Shape Analysis
Both tympanograms show:
- A sharp, symmetrical, single-peaked curve
- Peak falls within the normative reference box (the rectangular area printed on the graph)
- Clean baseline on both sides with smooth ascent and descent
- No flattening, no double peaks, no notching
This is the classic appearance of a healthy middle ear system.
Overall Conclusion
| Finding | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| Bilateral Type A tympanograms | Normal middle ear pressure and TM mobility |
| Normal peak compliance bilaterally | No stiffness, no hypermobility |
| MPP near zero bilaterally | Normal Eustachian tube function |
| Normal ECV bilaterally | TM intact, no perforation |
| Normal TW bilaterally | No middle ear effusion |
Both ears are completely normal on impedance audiometry.
Correlation with Previous Report
This tympanometry printout is consistent with the hand-recorded results from the Arya Speech and Hearing Clinic audiological evaluation (same patient, Md. Gulzar, 09/07/2026), which documented:
- Bilateral Type A tympanograms
- Bilateral WNL (Within Normal Limits) hearing
Together, both reports confirm no middle ear pathology and normal hearing bilaterally. The recommendation of follow-up (F/U) with the referring ENT (Dr. A. Gaurav) remains appropriate to address whatever subjective complaint prompted the referral, as audiometry and tympanometry are objectively normal.

Here is the detailed analysis of this nasal endoscopy report:
Dr. A. P. Shah Memorial - Advanced ENT & Head Neck Hospital
Nasal Endoscopy Report
Doctor: Dr. Abhishek Gaurav, M.B.B.S., D.L.O., D.N.B. (ENT), M.S. (ENT)
Patient: Md. Gulzar | Age: 24 years / Male | Date: 09/07/2026
Scope Used: Karl Storz 4 mm / 2.7 mm rigid nasal endoscope
Endoscopy Findings - Systematic Pass-by-Pass
First Pass (Inferior Meatus & Floor of Nose)
| Structure | Right | Left | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inferior Turbinate | +++ | +++ | Severe bilateral hypertrophy |
| Ridges & Spicules | - | + | Mild septal spicule on left |
| Eustachian Tubal Orifice | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No nasopharyngeal pathology |
| Nasopharynx | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No adenoids/mass |
| Choana | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | Patent bilaterally |
| Others | DNS noted | DNS noted | Deviated nasal septum observed |
Key Finding: Bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy graded
+++ (severe) on both sides. This is a major obstructive finding that correlates strongly with nasal obstruction, mouth breathing, and snoring symptoms.Second Pass (Middle Meatus - OMC Region)
| Structure | Right | Left | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Head of Middle Turbinate | + | + | Mildly enlarged bilaterally |
| Uncinate Process | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | Not hypertrophied, not lateralized |
| Ethmoidal Bulla | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No ethmoid bulla enlargement |
| Frontal Recess Area | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | Clear, no polyps/mucus |
| Ostia | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | Sinus ostia patent |
| Others | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No polyps in middle meatus |
Key Finding: The Ostiomeatal Complex (OMC) is clear bilaterally. No sinusitis or polyps. This rules out chronic rhinosinusitis as a primary driver.
Third Pass - Medial to Middle Turbinate (Posterior/Superior Nasal Cavity)
| Structure | Right | Left | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sphenoethmoidal Recess | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No posterior sinus pathology |
| Superior Turbinate | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | No pathology |
| Superior Meatus | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | Clear |
| Others | Normal ✓ | Normal ✓ | - |
Key Finding: Posterior and superior nasal cavity entirely clear. No evidence of sphenoid or posterior ethmoid disease.
Final Diagnosis
1. B/L ITH - Bilateral Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy (Severe,+++) 2. DNS - Deviated Nasal Septum (to the Left) 3. All. Rhinitis - Allergic Rhinitis
Clinical Correlation & Analysis
Bilateral Inferior Turbinate Hypertrophy (B/L ITH)
- Graded
+++bilaterally - this is significant obstruction - In allergic rhinitis, inferior turbinates undergo engorgement and mucosal hypertrophy due to chronic inflammatory mediators (histamine, leukotrienes)
- Causes: nasal obstruction, nasal congestion, mouth breathing, snoring, hyposmia
- Management options: intranasal corticosteroids, antihistamines; if refractory - turbinate reduction (radiofrequency, submucosal diathermy, or turbinoplasty)
Deviated Nasal Septum (DNS to Left)
- Mild septal ridges/spicules noted on left side (First Pass:
+for ridges on left) - DNS compounds the left-sided nasal obstruction in addition to turbinate hypertrophy
- If symptomatic and not responding to medical management: septoplasty may be considered
Allergic Rhinitis
- The underlying driver of turbinate hypertrophy
- Bilateral, symmetric turbinate swelling is classic for allergic etiology
- Management: allergen avoidance, intranasal corticosteroids (e.g., mometasone, fluticasone), antihistamines (oral ± intranasal), leukotriene receptor antagonists
- Allergy testing (skin prick test or serum specific IgE) may be advised for allergen identification
Correlation with Audiological Findings
Putting together all three documents for Md. Gulzar (24 Y/M):
| Investigation | Findings |
|---|---|
| Pure Tone Audiometry | Bilateral WNL (normal hearing) |
| Tympanometry | Bilateral Type A (normal middle ear) |
| Nasal Endoscopy | B/L ITH + DNS left + Allergic Rhinitis |
The Eustachian tube orifices were normal on endoscopy and tympanometry was Type A bilaterally - confirming that the nasal/allergic pathology has not yet impacted Eustachian tube function or middle ear status. This is reassuring, as allergic rhinitis with chronic turbinate hypertrophy can sometimes cause Eustachian tube dysfunction and conductive hearing loss if left untreated. Early treatment of the allergic rhinitis may prevent this progression.
Platelets increase food

Here is a complete guide to foods that help increase platelet count:
Foods That Help Increase Platelet Count
Normal platelet count: 1,50,000 - 4,50,000 per µL of blood. Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can result from dengue fever, viral infections, nutritional deficiencies, chemotherapy, or immune conditions.
Key Nutrients Needed for Platelet Production
| Nutrient | Role |
|---|---|
| Folate (Vitamin B9) | Essential for platelet cell division and production in bone marrow |
| Vitamin B12 | Required for healthy blood cell formation |
| Vitamin C | Supports platelet function and grouping; aids iron absorption |
| Vitamin K | Needed for blood clotting and platelet activation |
| Iron | Required for red blood cell and platelet production |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | Support platelet count when taken in moderation |
| Antioxidants | Prevent platelet destruction by oxidative stress |
Top Foods to Increase Platelets
Fruits
| Food | Key Nutrients | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Papaya (and papaya leaf extract) | Antioxidants, vitamins | Papaya leaf extract is a well-known traditional remedy for dengue-related thrombocytopenia |
| Pomegranate | Iron, Vitamin C, antioxidants | Reduces platelet destruction, boosts production |
| Kiwi | Vitamin C, Vitamin K | Enhances platelet function and clotting |
| Oranges | Vitamin C, Folate | Aids platelet formation and function |
| Mango | Vitamin C, Vitamin A | Supports platelet grouping and function |
| Amla (Indian Gooseberry) | Very high Vitamin C | Powerful antioxidant, widely used in Ayurvedic practice |
Vegetables & Greens
| Food | Key Nutrients | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Spinach / Palak | Folate, Iron, Vitamin K | Boosts platelet production and clotting |
| Kale / Collard Greens | Vitamin K, Folate | Strong platelet support |
| Drumstick leaves (Moringa) | Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin K | Traditional remedy for low platelets |
| Beetroot | Iron, Folate, antioxidants | Boosts RBC and platelet production |
| Broccoli | Vitamin C, Vitamin K | Supports platelet formation and clotting |
Protein Sources
| Food | Key Nutrients | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Beef / Chicken Liver | Vitamin B12, Folate, Iron | One of the richest sources for platelet production |
| Eggs | Vitamin B12, Folate | Supports blood cell formation |
| Fish (Salmon, Sardines) | Omega-3, Vitamin B12 | Moderate omega-3 supports platelet count |
| Lean Meat | Iron, Vitamin B12 | Directly supports haematopoiesis |
Other Foods
| Food | Key Nutrients | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Fortified cereals | Folate, B12, Iron | Easily accessible source of multiple platelet nutrients |
| Pumpkin seeds | Iron, Zinc, Vitamin K | Supports platelet and RBC production |
| Chlorophyll-rich foods (wheatgrass, spirulina) | Iron, Chlorophyll | May mimic haem structure; traditionally used |
| Coconut water | Electrolytes, minerals | Hydration supports blood volume and platelet function |
Foods to AVOID (Lower Platelets)
- Alcohol - directly suppresses bone marrow platelet production
- Quinine (tonic water) - can trigger immune destruction of platelets
- Aspartame (artificial sweetener) - may suppress platelet production in sensitive individuals
- Highly processed/junk food - promotes inflammation, increases platelet destruction
- Excess Omega-6 oils (refined vegetable oils) - pro-inflammatory
Special Note: Papaya Leaf Extract
Papaya leaf juice/extract is the most widely studied natural remedy for thrombocytopenia, especially in dengue. According to Medical News Today, it may help boost platelet levels, though always consult a doctor before using concentrated extracts as supplements.
Important Reminder
Food alone cannot cure severe thrombocytopenia. If the platelet count drops below 50,000/µL, or if there is active bleeding, bruising, or petechiae, medical evaluation and treatment are necessary. Diet is a supportive measure alongside medical care.
