There are multiple risk factors associated with development of the disease in the age group of 2- 15 yrs. [2]. Varied clinical presentation of the chronic otitis media ranges from Otalgia chronic Otorrhoea, irreversible destructive changes with intra and extra cranial complications and with a progressive auditory dysfunction leading to communication problem and social withdrawal. This not only affects the growth but also development of the child. The factors for high incidence of Chronic Otitis media in pediatric age group, the variation in clinical presentation in cases of Otitis media and the factors that allow acute infections within the middle ear and mastoid to develop into chronic infection is on account of morbid susceptibility. Disease is a modification in the state of health in which Susceptibility, sensitivity and the environmental circumstances play the roles. and the variation in it we owe to the individual susceptibility and sensitivity of an altered type. Susceptibility is the reaction that results when the host meets the environmental factors signs and symptoms represent the only perceptible form of evidence which signifies to us the reaction that takes place within the organism Susceptibility is important in almost all the reactions of living beings, some will react more & some will less, upon this variation of reaction depends in Homoeopathy understanding susceptibility is an important aspect in understanding the causation of the disease. Thus, a need for the basic conceptual understanding of states of susceptibility, and the correlation between susceptibility (which is qualitative) and its role in the evaluation of the disease phenomenon, expression of susceptibility in clinical presentation of chronic Otitis media is the need of time.
