Bullous myringitis is commonly encountered in otorhinolaryngology clinic. The most common presenting symptoms are otalgia, reduced hearing, and tinnitus. It can affect patients of any age in spite of the fact that children are frequently affected. In our recent encounter in our clinic, a teenager presented with bilateral otalgia with reduced hearing. Otoscopic findings revealed bilateral bullous myringitis that is indeed rare. He responded well with antibiotic treatment and recovered completely.
