    Abstract

    Background: Chronic Otitis Media (COM) is a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the middle ear, characterized by symptoms such as ear discharge, tympanic membrane perforation, and hearing loss. Its prevalence, particularly high in developing countries like India, is influenced by socioeconomic factors and inadequate nutrition. This study aimed to evaluate graft uptake rates and hearing improvement in COM patients undergoing myringoplasty, regardless of ear moisture status. Additionally, the study sought to assess the impact of combining myringoplasty with cortical mastoidectomy on surgical outcomes.
