Ear infections that are chronic, This condition is caused by an infection in the air-filled space behind the eardrum. Some people are genetically predisposed to ear infections. Children aged 6 months to 2 years are the most vulnerable to infections due to the size and shape of their middle ears and Eustachian tubes. A common cause of ear infections is another illness that causes congestion and swelling, such as the common cold, flu, or allergies. Ear infections are painful and can cause hearing loss, fever, headache, and dizziness. If your child develops multiple ear infections, you should see an ENT specialist. Because ear infections impair their ability to hear clearly, recurrent ear infections may result in speech, social, and developmental delays. Ear tubes are commonly used to treat chronic ear infections. During this procedure, an ENT surgeon makes a tiny hole in the eardrum to suction fluid from the middle ear. The opening is then inserted with a tiny tube to ventilate the ear and prevent future fluid buildup. Tubes usually stay in place for four to eighteen months before falling out on their own.
