Your ears play a vital role in hearing, balance, and overall well-being. From infections and inflammation to earwax buildup and structural issues, there are many conditions that can affect ear health. Explore the sections below to learn about different ear problems, their symptoms, and ways to manage or treat them.
Hearing is closely connected to overall health, and changes in hearing can influence—and be influenced by—other systems in the body. Research shows that hearing loss is associated with a range of health conditions, including cognitive decline, cardiovascular issues, and mental health challenges. While hearing loss may not directly cause these conditions, it is often considered a significant risk factor, highlighting the importance of maintaining good hearing health.
Ear infections can affect the outer, middle, or inner ear and may cause pain, swelling, fluid buildup, or hearing changes. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent complications.
Fluid buildup, pressure changes, or blockages can cause temporary hearing loss, discomfort, or ringing in the ears. Discover how simple prevention and management strategies can help.
