      ab: The external and middle ear conditions are diagnosed using a digital otoscope. The clinical diagnosis of ear conditions is suffered from restricted accuracy due to the increased dependency on otolaryngologist expertise, patient complaint, blurring of the otoscopic images, and complexity of lesions definition. There is a high requirement for improved diagnosis algorithms based on otoscopic image processing. This paper presented an ear diagnosis approach based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) as feature extraction and long short-term memory (LSTM) as a classifier algorithm. However, the suggested LSTM model accuracy may be decreased by the omission of a hyperparameter tuning process. Therefore, Bayesian optimization is used for selecting the hyperparameters to improve the results of the LSTM network to obtain a good classification. This study is based on an ear imagery database that consists of four categories: normal, myringosclerosis, earwax plug, and chronic otitis media (COM). This study used 880 otoscopic images divided into 792 training images and 88 testing images to evaluate the approach performance. In this paper, the evaluation metrics of ear condition classification are based on a percentage of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV). The findings yielded a classification accuracy of 100%, a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 100%, and a PPV of 100% for the testing database. Finally, the proposed approach shows how to find the best hyperparameters concerning the Bayesian optimization for reliable diagnosis of ear conditions under the consideration of LSTM architecture. This approach demonstrates that CNN-LSTM has higher performance and lower training time than CNN, which has not been used in previous studies for classifying ear diseases. Consequently, the usefulness and reliability of the proposed approach will create an automatic tool for improving the classification and prediction of various ear pathologies.
