Understanding Ear Pain

Ear pain is a common yet distressing condition that can affect people of all ages. It may be sharp, dull, or throbbing and can be caused by various factors, including infections, blockages, or underlying medical conditions. If left untreated, ear pain can lead to complications and impact daily life.

Common Causes of Ear Pain

1. Ear Infections – Bacterial or viral infections in the middle or outer ear can cause severe discomfort.
2. Wax Buildup – Excess earwax can block the ear canal, leading to pain and reduced hearing.
3. Sinus Infections – Sinus congestion can create pressure that radiates to the ears.
4. Eustachian Tube Dysfunction – When these tubes get blocked due to allergies or infections, ear pain can occur.
5. Throat Infections – Conditions like tonsillitis or strep throat can lead to referred ear pain.
6. Injury or Trauma – Inserting objects into the ear or exposure to loud noises can cause ear pain.
7. TMJ Disorders – Jaw joint issues may result in pain radiating to the ears.
