Is it normal to lose hearing with an ear infection?

My daughter has hearing loss due to an ear infection. Is it normal to lose hearing with an ear infection?

1 Answer

Complete hearing loss is not normal with an ear infection but having a change in hearing or decrease hearing can be common during the infection. Once the infection clears, it should improve. If it doesn’t she definitely needs to be seen by a physician.
