Otolaryngology Questions ear infection

Why won't my ear infection go away?

I've had a chronic ear infection that would come and go, and this has been going on for around 3 months. I'm 23 years old, and the only symptom that I really do have is dull ear pain. Why won't this ear infection go away?

Middle ear infections can affect your hearing – muffling sounds and your overall ability to hear. This can be unsettling, but it's almost always temporary and doesn't result in any permanent hearing loss. I suggest visiting an Otolaryngologist (ENT) for advice.
