This study is done to assess the outcome of myringoplasty related to Eustachian tube function in CSOM and , to compare the surgical outcome of CSOM in both normal Eustachian tube function and Eustachian tube dysfunction. ETF was assessed by impedance audiometry , forced inflation test . Patients will be divided into two outcome groups on the basis of ear findings:- 1. Graft Healed with good middle ear function will be considered as successful outcome.2. Failure of Graft or perforation secondary to otitis media will be considered as failure.
