Barotitis Media treatment in Campeche

Barotitis media, or ear barotrauma, is a condition of the middle ear that appears when there is an imbalance between the outside air pressure and the pressure inside the ear, usually during flights or scuba diving.

Common symptoms: It can cause a feeling of a plugged ear, pain, pressure, decreased hearing, and, at times, ringing or dizziness.

When to see a doctor? It is advisable to consult if the discomfort does not let up after the pressure change, if the pain is severe, or if hearing does not recover.

Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist is the professional who evaluates barotitis media and checks the condition of the ear. If the discomfort persists after traveling or diving, having it evaluated by this specialist is the most sensible thing to do.
