Özet
Otitis externa (OE) is an inflammatory process that affects the external auditory canal and occasionally the tragus, pinna, and even the tympanic membrane. Symptoms usually appear within the first 48 hours and can last up to 3 weeks. In cases of inflammation exceeding 3 months, it is defined as chronic otitis externa [1-4].
