Ear infections can occur in the middle ear or the ear canal. For information about infections in the ear canal, see Swimmer's Ear.\n\nA middle ear infection (otitis media) usually develops during a cold. Colds can cause the eustachian tube (which connects the middle ear to the throat) to swell and close. When the eustachian tube is closed, air cannot reach the middle ear. This creates a vacuum that draws fluid into the middle ear. Bacteria or viruses then grow in the fluid, causing a middle ear infection.\n\nThe infected fluid that is trapped in the middle ear puts pressure on the eardrum. If the ear infection is not treated, the pressure may continue to build until the eardrum ruptures. A single eardrum rupture usually is not serious and rarely causes hearing loss. However, repeated eardrum ruptures can lead to permanent hearing loss. See "Recurrent Ear Infections and Persistent Effusion".\n\nSymptoms of a middle ear infection include ear pain, dizziness, ringing or a feeling of fullness in the ear, hearing loss, fever, headache, and runny nose. Children who can't yet talk may tug on their painful ears. Drainage from the ear that is bloody or looks like pus may indicate a ruptured eardrum. Ear pain usually improves once an eardrum ruptures.

I had that happen and the med tech packed it with gauze until I was able to get into the doctor. They told me NOT to introduce anything into it - no peroxide or anything but wait to be seen. The specialist told me that the secretions in your ears naturally kill bacteria and you don;t want to mess with throwing off the balance by killing it with alcohol or peroxide.\n\nI remember it hurt like the dickens...I had a concussion on top of it and vertigo...hope you have some good pain killers and a soft heating pad! Be well!

The ear, in the world of medicine, is not just the ear that we commonly refer to. The ear is quite a complex structure and consists of 3 parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. Otitis media, as the name suggests, refers to infection in the middle ear.\n\nHow does otitis media occur? The middle ear, which is the space behind the eardrum, is normally filled with air. A tube normally connects the middle ear to the throat. This tube is called auditory tube or the Eustachian tube (Eustachian was a chap who discovered the tube hundreds of years ago). The function of the tube is to normalize or equalize the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. When blocked, pressure in the middle ear decreases, causing mucus (or fluid) to fill up the space. The mucus may then become contaminated by bacteria and viruses, thus allowing infection to occur.\n\nThis is the basic mechanism of middle ear infection. There are many reasons for the Eustachian tube to become blocked. One of the commonest being an upper respiratory infection or common cold, which causes the Eustachian tube to swell up and block. This is particularly common in children as their Eustachian tubes are smaller and not yet fully developed. The other less common cause being a tumor growing around the opening of the Eustachian tube in the throat, causing the tube to obstruct. This is particularly common in the middle age or the elderly population, where tumor of the throat is prevalent. Having said that, very often, an ear infection occurs 'out of the blue' for no apparent reason.\n\nWhat are the symptoms of a middle ear infection? Earache is the most common complaints. It is often described as a deep ache or pressure, sometimes bad enough to disrupt sleep. Dulled hearing and deafness are also common symptoms; they usually last for several days. Fever is also common, but not very 'specific' as other infections can also cause fever. Young children with middle ear infections may also vomit and tend to look very ill. Babies cannot point to their pain but if they are irritable, feel hot and crying all the time, a middle ear infection should always be suspected. Discharge is a common symptom too. As the infection progresses, pressure begins to build up in the middle ear. When it is too high, the eardrum 'pops', allowing its content (usually pus) to flow out from the middle ear.\n\nAre all earaches caused by middle ear infection? Absolutely not! Lots of other diseases can cause earaches as well. For example, people with toothache can sometimes have earaches, this is due to pain being 'referred' to the middle ear. Other causes of earache due to referred pain include sinusitis (infection of the sinus), sore throat, tongue ulcers, thyroid problems, outer ear infections, so on and so forth.\n\nWhat is the treatment for a middle ear infection? The aim of treatment is to kill the bugs responsible, to control the pain and to control the fever (to bring the high temperature down to normal). Antibiotics are commonly given to kill the germs responsible, the commonest being Amoxicillin. Pain killers (or analgesics) are given to control the pain, panadol is usually sufficient but some people may need stronger pain killers. Lastly, panadol can also do the job in lowering the high temperature as well. The course of the disease is usually between 7 to 14 days.

ear injuries can cause dizziness and can also cause you to feel disoriented.\n\nyou should seek medical attention asap b/c there is a slight chance you might have a low grade concussion.\n\nthe fact that you are overwhelmingly dizzy and feel confused and disoriented upon standing indicates a serious problem and significant injury to your ear.\n\nin severe cases, if left untreated or looked into-this could cause permanent hearing loss, especially if you've ruptured your eardrum.\n\nhave someone take you to the nearest emergency room or urgent care center. you can also call your family dr to see if you can be seen there.

Same thing happened to my guy, but he's a music fanatic with the headphones...ended up going to the ER for it cuz I couldn't get it all. I got a lot too. Dr. pulled out 2x as much as what you said. He told him that some people poduce wax faster than others. But it took like a month or so to get that bad. Maybe 2 months max. It's just that those people have stickier wax than most people. Dr said not to use q-tips cuz it'd shove it in further. But to wash out canal with a bulb syringe with warm water often to reduce build up. It was rock hard too when it came out, and really dark. Ew. He was having a hell of a time hearing. I could hear his music through his headphones when he was across the room! When he was almost deaf is when I said lemme see.

You most likely have an ear infection. I would head to the doctor.

If you dove or swam to the bottom of the deep end the water pressure may have been enough to give you that clogged sensation.  The mechanism is basically the same as with the air pressure during a flight:\n\nBehind your ear drum is an air pocket - the middle ear - that is connected to the back of the throat by the Eustachian tube. That tube will open and close again when swallowing or yawning to equalize the air pressure in the middle ear to that of the environment around you. That is why it is often recommended to chew gum or suck on hard candy during take-off and landing.  \n\nFor some people, the Eustachian tube does not function properly, and when the pressure builds up, sound can be muffled and you might hear noises (like ringing) in your ears.  If the pressure does not resolve, it can lead to a build up of fluid behind the eardrum, which restricts its movement even more.\n\nIf your eustachian tubes are not functioning properly, which can be due to upper respiratory ailments like allergies, or a cold, or sore throat; and the pressure can be quite painful.  Some people take antihistamines and/or decongestants to clear the upper respiratory system. \n\nIf the pressure builds up anyway, you could try to force some air into the middle ear by holding your breath (pinch your nose if needed) and blowing gently and steadily for a few seconds to force air pressure through the Eustachian tubes into the middle ear.  This is called a ValSalva maneuver -- be careful not to blow too hard or you could damage your ears.\n\nAs other people have noted, there could also be fluid that is not draining from your ear canal, which could breed a fungus or infection (swimmers ear).  If it persists, or if you get any itching, pain, fever, or drainage from the ear, see a doctor.

it's either high blood pressure or an iron deficiency. You should also check and see if it's a low grade ear infection...something like that can throw off your equilibrium and make you dizzy during extreme motions(which include bending over and rolling over)...\n\ngood luck!

that is one thing you cannot do,i know i had it bad,to the point a doctor told me i had a brain tumor.when what i thought was causing the problem,was the problem.i had dizziness so bad i would vomit like crazy.anyway go see a ear,nose&throat doctor.let him/her check your ears out.if you have a hole in your ear drum,with fluid back behind it, that will cause it ,a big cause of dizzeness,vertigo is something is wrong with the inner ear.the inner ear has small tubes in them that contains fluid in them,we are born with it.thats where we get our balance from.when something bothers it,like infection,it causes vertigo.

COULD BE FROM A BLOCKED ESTACIAN TUBE. AN INNER EAR INFECTION, EAR WAX BUILD UP OR FROM TINNITUS. DO YOU ALSO HEAR RINGING AND/OR BUZZING IN THE EAR. IS YOUR HEARING ALSO ON THE DECLINE? SEE AN EAR.NOSE.THROAT DOC ASAP..

Not generally, no. However if the infection should get to your ears, which wouldn't be uncommon, it can affect the vestibular system, thus making you dizzy. Generally speaking, if you are having dizziness, you should see your doctor to get some antibiotics (if not taking them already) as an inner ear infection can do bad things if left unchecked. One should also consider the possibility that something else could be causing the dizziness at the brainstem...which would be really bad! Either case, see your Dr.

I can't exactly tell you what the problem is, but my wife is a doctor of audiology.  Ifyou have that kind of dizziness/off balanced, it can be a sign of some inner ear infection or one of several other problems.  I suggest you get into see an ear nose and throut doctor who will send you to an audiologist for tests such as a vng/eng or abr.  Some of these  can be fixed relatively quickly.  If you can go straight to an audioligist, who specializes in hearing and balance testing, I suggest you go there first.  Your ear is the area that provides you with balance and anything that causes you to be off balance should be dealt with by a professional.  Good luck!

EEK! I did  that at a concert when I was young. I think the worst of it was over in 2 days, but my ears had a slight ring for quite a long time after that.  Chances are you've done some permanent damage. You might want to go get a hearing test at a Ear/Nose/Throat doctor.
