Hearing Loss and Ear Discharge
Hearing loss occurs suddenly or gradually. It affects people of all ages. Chronic ear infections lead to hearing loss. It may also lead to discharge from the ear. Other reasons include:
- Perforated eardrums
- Fluid build-up
- Trauma

Ear discharge is often a sign that something isn’t quite right inside your ear. It could be fluid, pus, blood, or even water. Ear discharge is not always painful. But it indicates an infection or underlying condition.
