Abstract
Background: One of the most prevalent viral children illnesses in the world, chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a major factor in hearing loss in settings with minimal resources. In environments with plenty of resources, it is less common. Chronic middle ear drainage linked to tympanic membrane (TM) perforation is its defining feature. Acute otitis media frequently occurs prior to CSOM (AOM). The long-term consequences of COM-related hearing loss on language development, communication, and the educational process make it a serious concern. It is estimated that developing nations account for two thirds of the global population with hearing impairments. The present study was intended to assess the surgical outcomes in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media who has undergone surgery at our tertiary care hospital
