Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a chronic suppurative inflammation of mucoperiosteal layer of the middle ear cleft appreciated by perforation of the tympanic membrane. CSOM can severely impact quality of life (QoL) of patients. QoL is the latest indicator of health care. The aim was to assess the quality of life in CSOM (Chronic suppurative otitis media) patients in a tertiary care centre. Materials and methods: It was a descriptive epidemiological study and sample size is approximately 60 using a Questionnaire by interview method the CES questionnaire (Activity Restriction, Symptom and Medical Resource). Results: In the end we came to know QoL is not affected in CSOM patients (p<.05) in terms of age, gender with activity restriction, symptom and medical resource. Conclusion: Hence concluded that quality of life is not affected in csom patients and though the health seeking behavior has increased, the knowledge about the disease is minimum. We have to promote health education about the disease. Further studies with larger sample size necessary to get significant correlation in QoL of csom patients.
