Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. When compounded with a double ear infection involving both effusion (fluid accumulation) and chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM), the confusion experienced by individuals with Alzheimer's can be exacerbated. The infection-related inflammation and discomfort in the ears can further disrupt their ability to process sensory information and concentrate, leading to heightened cognitive difficulties and disorientation. Managing these coexisting conditions requires a comprehensive approach, addressing both the neurological aspects of Alzheimer's and the infection-related challenges in the ears.
