Common symptoms: It may present with ear discharge, decreased hearing, a feeling of a plugged ear and, at times, discomfort or pressure rather than intense pain.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the one who evaluates the ear and provides guidance on management. Addressing these symptoms in time with a professional helps protect hearing.
