ENT Symptoms

Ear fullness is a common sensation caused by pressure imbalances or blockages in the ear, often due to air pressure changes, earwax buildup, sinus congestion, or jaw issues, and usually resolves with simple measures or medical care if persistent.

Earaches, caused by infections, wax buildup, or pressure changes, can range from mild discomfort to severe pain affecting daily life, with medical attention needed if symptoms worsen or persist.

Middle ear infections (otitis media) cause inflammation and fluid buildup behind the eardrum, leading to pain, hearing issues, and discomfort, especially in children, often triggered by colds, allergies, or Eustachian tube blockages.

Ear wax blockage occurs when excess cerumen builds up in the ear canal, causing hearing difficulties and discomfort, often due to overproduction, ear shape, or improper cleaning. It commonly affects older adults and hearing aid users.

Ear tenderness to touch causes pain or discomfort from infections, injuries, or skin conditions affecting the ear, potentially impacting daily activities and requiring medical attention if symptoms worsen or persist.
