Typical Symptoms
- A blocked feeling
- Ear pain that is worse when you touch or pull the ear
- Muffled hearing
- Itching inside the ear
- Discharge
Causes and Risk Factors
Moisture trapped after a swim or shower softens the canal lining so germs can grow; swimming pools, the sea and cotton buds raise the chance.
