ENT Symptoms

A diagonal ear lobe crease, often linked to aging or genetics, is a common skin fold that may correlate with cardiovascular risk but is generally harmless and not a definitive health indicator.

Tinnitus is the perception of constant ear ringing or buzzing without external sound, caused by factors like noise exposure, aging, or health conditions, often impacting daily life and prompting medical evaluation if persistent.

Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound transmission is blocked in the outer or middle ear, reducing sound volume but not clarity, and is often treatable when diagnosed early.

Tenderness behind the ear can result from infections, inflammation, injuries, or swollen lymph nodes, with severity ranging from mild irritation to serious conditions like mastoiditis requiring medical attention.

Unilateral hearing loss causes reduced or distorted hearing in one ear, affecting sound localization and communication, often due to infections, earwax, noise damage, or sudden injury, and requires prompt medical evaluation for effective treatment.
