Mastoiditis of the middle ear is generally quite serious. Mastoiditis is a condition that develops from otitis media, and this disease can be severe for individuals. As it progresses to a certain stage, patients are prone to experience hearing loss. At the same time, the onset of this disease easily leads to symptoms such as abscesses in the external auditory canal and acute suppurative inflammation, causing significant harm to the patient's ears.
