Ear pain can affect one or both ears and may be sharp, dull, or throbbing. While often caused by ear infections or wax build-up, it can also result from jaw problems, throat infections, or referred pain from the neck or sinuses.

Common Causes:

• Outer or middle ear infections

• Earwax blockage

• Eustachian tube dysfunction (pressure or fluid behind the eardrum)

• TMJ (jaw joint) problems

• Throat or dental issues causing referred pain

When to See a Specialist:
If your ear pain is persistent, recurrent, or associated with hearing loss, discharge, or a feeling of blockage, an ENT assessment is recommended. I provide thorough evaluation and tailored treatment to address the root cause of your symptoms.
