Do you suffer from pain in your ear?
๐ฎ The ear is a complicated part of the body and ear infections can strike in any part of the ear!
๐ Ear infections in adults can be more serious than in children and can be caused by germs, such as viruses, a fungus, or bacteria. The way in which a person becomes infected will often determine the kind of infection they get. People with weakened immune systems or inflammation in the structures of the ear may be more prone to ear infections than others.
๐ค The common cold, flu, allergies, sinus, throat infections and even diabetes can lead to middle ear infections as the bacteria make their way through the connected passageways and into the middle ear.
๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Symptoms of ear infections in adults may include:
๐Hearing changes
๐Inflammation and Pain
๐Nausea/vomiting
๐Dizziness
๐Headache
๐Fever
๐Swelling of the ear
๐ฉ๐ปโโ๏ธ When do I need to see a Doctor and Audiologist
๐ฉบ A doctor should be seen if symptoms have not improved within 3 days. If new symptoms occur, such as a fever or discharge from the year.
๐ฆป Ear infections in adults can lead to serious consequences, visit your Audiologist if you are experiencing hearing loss and balance problems after an ear infection.
๐ At Lifetime Audiology they can test how well your middle ear and eardrum work as well as your hearing and if further management is needed. They will be there there every step of the way!
