ENT Symptoms

An itchy ear is a common sensation caused by factors like dry skin, earwax buildup, allergies, infections, or skin conditions, which can lead to discomfort and may require medical attention if persistent or severe.

Inner ear infections cause inflammation affecting balance and hearing, leading to dizziness, nausea, and hearing issues. Causes include viral, bacterial, and autoimmune factors, with symptoms often requiring medical evaluation for proper management.

A hole in the eardrum is a tear in the tympanic membrane that can cause hearing loss and increase infection risk, often resulting from infections, injuries, or pressure changes. Treatment varies from monitoring to surgery depending on severity.

Hearing things that aren’t there involves perceiving sounds without external sources, often caused by stress, fatigue, hearing loss, or neurological conditions, and can range from harmless to signs needing medical attention.

Headaches behind the ears can result from muscle tension, ear infections, TMJ issues, sinus pressure, nerve irritation, or poor posture, affecting daily life and sometimes requiring medical evaluation for persistent or severe symptoms.
