The prospective study was conducted on 82 patients of Tubotympanic type of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media. All patients undergo through history taken and examinations especially Eustachian tube function, audiological evaluation and MERI score. All patients undergo tympanoplasty and then evaluate results as graft uptake and hearing improvement. In study of 65 patients have normal Eustachian tube function in which graft take up rate 59 (88%)in compare to Eustachian tube dysfunction 15 patients have 8(53%). Hearing improvement is good with low MERI score. Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a commonly encountered infection of the middle ear all over the world. The assessment of Eustachian tube function is an important predictor of postoperative results of surgery. MERI score developed by Kartush has been used in present study to divide different groups as per severity of disease and to predict the outcome of tympanoplasty.
