Hearing loss due to pain inside the ear is considered to be caused by inflammation of the external auditory canal, acute secretory otitis media, and earwax in the ear canal.
1. Acute inflammation of the external auditory canal: it will lead to obvious swelling in the ear canal, resulting in pain in the ear and hearing loss due to obstruction of sound conduction.
2. Acute secretory otitis media: Most common in children, due to poor drainage in the middle ear, causing fluid buildup in the tympanic cavity and other lesions, in addition to hearing loss, children may also experience pain in the heart of the ear.
3. Ear canal cerumen: Excessive cerumen in the ear canal blocks the external auditory canal, leading to obstruction of air conduction of sound and hearing loss. The cerumen may swell in contact with water and compress the wall of the external auditory canal, and pain in the ear canal will occur.
There may be other reasons for the pain inside the ear and hearing loss. If the above symptoms occur, you should consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
