Middle Ear Infections in Adults. While eustachian tube dysfunction is more common in children, poor tubal function can persist into adulthood and is the main cause for middle ear infections in adults. When fluid or bacteria become trapped inside the ear from the eustachian tube not functioning normally, an infection can occur.
Middle ear infections may cause pain, hearing loss, and spontaneous rupture of the eardrum, resulting in a perforation. In this case,there may be infected or bloody drainage from the ear. Infections can cause a hole in the eardrum as a side effect of otitis media.iddle ear infections may cause pain, hearing loss, and spontaneous rupture of the eardrum, resulting in a perforation.
