Methods: For this study, we used 60 patients, 30 of each gender. Between January 2013 to December 2013, patients with chronic adenoiditis who visited the ENT outpatient service at the Narayana Medical College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India, were the subjects of this cross-sectional study. We used the method of sequential sampling.

Result: According to the study's findings, an adenoidectomy efficiently reduces middle ear fluid and considerably improves postoperative hearing. The acknowledged standard of therapy for conditions including obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and the cardio-respiratory implications of severe chronic adenoid hypertrophy is adenoidectomy. Conversely, less severe episodes of chronic adenoiditis might not require surgery. Numerous randomized control studies have showed how well nasal steroid spray improves allergic rhinitis and chronic adenoiditis.

Conclusion: It can be confidently said that adenoidectomy effectively removes middle ear fluid and leads to a significant improvement in hearing after the surgical procedure.
