Why Does My Child Keep Getting Ear Infections?

Children have smaller and more horizontal Eustachian tubes, making it easier for fluid and bacteria to get trapped. This can lead to recurrent otitis media (middle ear infection), especially after colds or allergies.

Frequent infections may require ENT evaluation, possible hearing tests, or ear tube placement.

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.

What Is Ear Barotrauma and How Can I Prevent It When Flying?

Ear barotrauma happens when pressure changes—like during takeoff or landing—damage the eardrum or middle ear.

Prevention Tips:
✅ Yawn, swallow, or chew gum during ascent/descent
✅ If with nasal congestion, you may use prescribed intranasal or oral decongestants.
✅ Try earplugs designed for flying

If you feel severe pain or hearing loss after a flight, consult your ENT.

Dizziness vs. Vertigo: What’s the Difference?

Many confuse dizziness and vertigo, but they’re not the same:

🔸 Dizziness: Feeling lightheaded, faint, or unsteady
🔸 Vertigo: A false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning

⚠️ Both can have different causes—from inner ear problems to low blood pressure or anxiety.

If symptoms persist, consult your ENT for proper evaluation.

Stop Using Cotton Buds to Clean Your Ears!

Using cotton buds may feel satisfying, but it can actually do more harm than good:
⚠️ Pushes wax deeper
⚠️ Increases risk of eardrum perforation
⚠️ Can cause infections or injury
👂 Your ears are self-cleaning—no need to poke inside!

If you have a wax problem, see an ENT specialist.

Protect your ears. Skip the cotton buds!

Can I Still Hear with a Damaged Eardrum?

Yes—some hearing loss is common with a perforated eardrum, but it may improve as the eardrum heals.
👂 ENT specialists may recommend:
🔹 Ear drops
🔹 Protective ear coverings
🔹 Surgery (in some cases)

Early treatment gives the best chance of recovery.
