    Chronic suppurative otitis media is caused by ascending bacterial infection, usually Streptococcus pneumoniae or Haemophilus influenzae, through the Eustachian tube due to dysfunction. Risk factors include pre-school age due to anatomical and immune system immaturity. Bacteria colonize the middle ear, causing mucosal damage, edema, exudate, and pus formation leading to tympanic membrane perforation, conductive hearing loss, otorrhea, and non-healing inflammation.
