Can Ear Infections Cause Permanent Hearing Loss?
Yes—untreated or repeated ear infections, especially in children, can lead to:
⚠️ Damage to the eardrum
⚠️ Middle ear complications
⚠️ Permanent hearing loss in some cases
Prompt treatment helps prevent long-term damage. Don’t ignore recurring ear pain or discharge.
