What to do if you can't hear due to ear inflammation

If you can't hear due to ear inflammation, you may be suffering from otitis media. Otitis media can be divided into acute and chronic types. It can also cause hearing loss, eardrum perforation, discharge of water and pus, and other symptoms. The main factors of ear inflammation are irregular lifestyle, long-term ear cleaning or listening to rock songs with headphones, etc. Mild ear inflammation is most likely to fester. You can wipe the festering area with a cotton ball, or apply some anti-inflammatory drugs and put them in the ear. If it is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Question 1

You can consider whether it is chronic otitis media. Treatment: The treatment of chronic suppurative otitis media includes medical therapy and surgical therapy. Medical therapy includes local therapy and drug therapy, the purpose of which is to make the inflamed middle ear become non-inflamed, or to make the purulent ear become dry ear, but it should be noted that many dry ears still have otitis media.

Suggestions:

Medical treatment cannot correct structural damage to the middle ear, such as a hole in the tympanic membrane, hearing loss, or bone defects. Medical treatment can only restore some cases from an inflamed state to a non-inflamed state. Damage to the middle ear structure must be reconstructed by surgical treatment, and some cases of middle ear inflammation also require surgical treatment to remove the inflammatory lesions. Therefore, surgical treatment can simultaneously remove the inflammatory lesions and reconstruct the middle ear structure. In the treatment of chronic otitis media, medical treatment and surgical treatment complement each other.

Reason 1:

The mucous membrane of the ear canal is very thin and rich in blood vessels. If foreign objects enter, ears are picked, or there are injuries, it will cause related inflammation.

Secondly, different parts of the ear are connected to other parts, so inflammation in other parts will also affect the ear, such as the Eustachian tube from the middle ear to the throat, the mastoid from the epidermis to the middle ear, the ossicular chain connecting the eardrum to the round window of the inner ear, etc. Therefore, pharyngitis, mumps, facial nerve inflammation, etc. will develop to the ear.

Reason 2:

Otitis media, commonly known as "rotten ears", is an inflammation of the tympanic cavity mucosa. When germs enter the tympanic cavity, inflammation occurs when the body's resistance is weakened or bacterial toxins increase. Its symptoms include ear pain (worse at night), fever, chills, bitter taste in the mouth, red or yellow urine, constipation, hearing loss, etc. If the eardrum is perforated, pus will flow out of the ear and the pain will be relieved, which often exists at the same time as chronic mastoiditis. If the acute stage is not treated thoroughly, it will turn into chronic otitis media. Depending on the physical condition and climate changes, pus will often flow out of the ear, sometimes more, sometimes less, and last for many years. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this disease "ear pus" or "ear scurvy", and believes that it is caused by the prevalence of damp-heat (fire) evil qi in the liver and gallbladder.
