What is the worst case senario for apatient long suffering from the infection of the midle ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many..: A few things would include the obvious scarring and possible permanent loss of hearing. Some other possible outcomes would be erosion of infection to the facial nerve or brain causing major problems. I would recommend getting it taken care of - see your physician.
