At most of patients chronic purulent average otitis  begins at children's age. One of the widespread bases of transformation of acute otitis in chronic is big destruction in a drum cavity which develops at the increased pathogenesity of the activator and in a debilitation of a possibility of resistance of immune system of an organism.

Symptoms of Chronic otitis:

At all variety of symptoms and a clinical current it is possible to break all chronic otitises on a current on high-quality and malignant. At benign otitis inflammatory process happens only in a mucous membrane of a drum cavity and does not get out of its limits — for bone walls. It can last for years, but not give serious complications. The disease has rather local, limited character.
At malignant otitis inflammatory process takes also bone walls in which caries develops there is a growth of granulations, destruction of a bone which can reach a meninx and give deadly intracranial complications. Otitises with the central perforation in the huge majority of cases have a high-quality current and take only a mucous membrane of a middle part of a drum cavity — мезотимпанум owing to what received the name of mesotympanites.
Existence of regional perforation indicates, thus, damage of a bone and localization of the suppurative inflammatory focus in supratympanic space (эпитимпанум). This form of chronic otitises — an attic disease has usually long current, will difficult respond to treatment and is the most frequent reason of otogenic intracranial complications that justifies reference it to group of malignant otitises.
Often suppuration does not give special unpleasant subjective feelings, disturbs patients a little. Allocations from an ear do not inspire in patients of special alarm, become for them usual. At poll such patients often do not complain of an ear disease at all. The hearing impairment which is almost always available forces patients to look for the help only when it reaches considerable degree.
