Also known as ringing in your ears, tinnitus is caused by many conditions, including age-related hearing loss, exposure to loud sounds, and a buildup of earwax.
Balance disorders can make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. If you have a balance disorder, you may lose your balance frequently and experience vertigo. Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness that makes you feel like you or your surroundings are spinning. While many medical conditions can lead to these symptoms, oftentimes, it is caused by your inner ear malfunctioning.
Children often experience ear pain due to ear infections, swimmer’s ear, or a perforated eardrum. While adults can have the same problems as children, they’re more likely to have ear pain from sinus infections, dental infections, nerve problems, and temporomandibular joint disorders.
Hearing loss may be reversible when it’s caused by an earwax buildup, eardrum damage, or ear infections. However, hearing loss is more often permanent when it arises from age-related hearing loss and exposure to loud sounds.
