All of our ENT’s at Cal West ENT are board certified and combined have over 30 years of service. Some of the common issues that our ENT doctors deal with regarding the ear are ear pain and an ear ache. Ear pain is a very common issue caused by a variety of things. The ear is divided into two different anatomical sections. The outer ear is anything related from the earlobe to the ear drum. The middle ear pertains to the area of the ear located behind the ear drum itself. One of the main causes of ear pain and ear aches is ear wax. When ear wax accumulates in the outer ear, it can cause impaired hearing and subsequent pain. Other issues that can occur include swimmers ear, tinnitus also known as ringing of the ear), vertigo and Ménière’s disease. For more details please visit at http://www.calwestent.com/.
