why are ear infections so hard to get rid of?

I woke up this morning with with a heaviness in my ear and sore right side of my throat. I know when this happens my ear has become infected again.  Went in the see the doc this morning and sure enough its infected and my eardrum has ruptured again. The Eustachian tube is full of infection which is irritating the right side of my throat. My father and older brother have issues with their right ears as well. My father had chronic ear infections as a child and ended up getting an infection in his mastoid bone and lost hearing in that ear. I worry this could happen to me.
