Symptoms of ear disease include earache, ear pus, deafness, tinnitus, vertigo, localized swelling and otogenic facial nerve paralysis, among which deafness is the prominent symptom of ear disease.
1. Earache: mainly caused by acute inflammation. The advanced stage of middle ear cancer may have severe pain. Otogenic intracranial complications may have deep ear pain.
2. Ear pus: discharge from the external auditory canal is one of the common symptoms of ear diseases.

7. Otogenic facial nerve palsy: facial nerve palsy in acute otitis media is caused by facial nerve edema, ischemia and hypoxia, and facial nerve palsy in chronic suppurative mastoiditis due to destruction of the facial nerve canal caused by cholesteatoma.
