Chronic External Ear Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic external ear infection, a persistent form of otitis externa, is the prolonged inflammation and infection of the external auditory canal, the channel that runs from the entrance of the ear to the eardrum.
Usual symptoms: Itching, discomfort, or pain in the ear, a sensation of a plugged ear, discharge, and, at times, reduced hearing usually occur.
Contributing factors: Frequent moisture, cleaning with objects, certain skin conditions, and repeated exposure to water can favor it becoming recurrent.
Which specialist treats it? Its study falls to the otolaryngologist, dedicated to conditions of the ear, nose, and throat. When ear discomfort recurs or does not resolve, a professional review helps identify what is sustaining it.
