period of three years & this was an essential part of my MD thesis. The result showed that majority (more than 55%) of deafness was sensory neural type and the major aetiology for this type of hearing loss congenital. This was the first time I learnt about the basics of research.

• Genetic Syndromes Associated with Deafness (1993–1995): My dissertation project involving 50 children with proven deafness associated with genetic syndromes. The study was done over a period of two years from 1993 to 1995. My job was collecting all the data and finally analyzing them with the help of a statistician. The outcome showed a mixture of sensory neural, conductive and mixed hearing losses in those children with genetic syndromes
