These can be signs of ear problems that have occurred in your ears, and it’s important to get them checked for your ear health. Common ear care symptoms include loss of hearing, earache, discomfort, discharge, a feeling of fullness in the ears, ringing, itching, loss of balance, dizziness, coughing, turning up the volume, moving closer to those talking to you, asking people to repeat themselves, and concentrating harder than normal to listen.
Please contact your GP or NHS111 before booking if you experience any ear care symptoms such as: sudden hearing loss, severe or worsening ear pain, discharge or bleeding from the ear, signs of ear problems like a suspected ear infection or perforated eardrum, or if you suspect a foreign body in the ear. It's important to prioritize your ear health.
