Ear, Hearing, and Vertigo Conditions

 

The ear is a vital organ not only responsible for hearing, but also plays a key role in maintaining balance. It is composed of three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Disorders or malfunctions within any part of the ear can lead to symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), ear pain, infections, and balance problems.

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a common condition characterized by a persistent or intermittent sound in one or both ears that only you can hear. These sounds may come and go or be continuous, and can sound like ringing, buzzing, hissing, humming, clicking, or even music. Tinnitus can be relatively mild and temporary, but for some individuals, it can become chronic and cause significant distress, affecting quality of life.

Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Eustachian tube dysfunction (ETD) is a condition affecting the tube that connects your middle ear to your throat. The Eustachian tubes help regulate ear pressure, and when they get blocked or don't open or close properly, it can lead to discomfort and hearing problems.

Facial Nerve Weakness

Facial nerve paresis, or paralysis, refers to the loss of voluntary muscle movement in an individual's face. This condition occurs when there's damage to your facial nerve which controls the muscles of your face, tear and saliva glands, and the sensation of taste in the front two-thirds of your tongue. Damage or swelling of this nerve can result in facial weakness or loss of facial expression, including smiling, closing the eye, or raising the eyebrow.

Ear Wax

Ear wax, also known as cerumen, is a naturally produced substance in the ear that plays a crucial role in trapping dust, bacteria, and other particles to prevent them from reaching the delicate eardrum. Normally, ear wax gradually moves from the ear canal to the opening of the ear, where it dries out and falls away. However, in some cases, the ear might produce more wax than can be easily excreted, leading to a buildup or blockage known as cerumen impaction.
