After approved from IREB, a well informed consent was taken. Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) was performed before surgery and post-operatively at three and six months interval. The mean \u00b1 SD Air-Bone Gap (ABG) was calculated in pre- and postoperative PTA. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 20). Chi-square (X2) test of significance was used taking confidence interval at 95%. The p-value \u22640.05 was considered significant.\r\nResults: Total patients were 36; male 21 (58.3%), female 15(41.7%) with male: female ratio of 1.4:1. Mean \u00b1 SD age was 27.14 \u00b1 7.49 years (Range 15 \u2013 50Years). Tympanic membrane perforation was commonly found on right side 22 (61.1%), predominantly involving anterioinferior site 19 (52.8%) and medium sized perforation outnumbered 22 (61.1%). Mean\u00a0pre-operative air-conduction of 49.72 dB was significantly reduced to 18.27 dB with pvalue of &lt;0.05. Similarly the pre-operative mean air bone gap on PTA of 45.63 \u00b1 8.35dB was also reduced to statistically significant level of 7.41 \u00b1 3.51 dB on post-operative PTA with p-value of &lt;.05. Graft was taken up well in 34 cases (94.4%).\r\nConclusion: Tragal perichondrial graft is an effective grafting material used for tympanoplasty due to its possessing qualities.\r\ndoi: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12669\/pjms.35.4.421\r\nHow to cite this:Wahid FI, Nagra SR.
