Why Won't My Ears Pop?!: Causes and Treatments for Ear Pain and Pressure

Whether just landing from a flight or recovering from a sinus infection, most of us are all too familiar with that sensation of ear pain and pressure that may follow. Ear pain and pressure may have a significant impact on our quality of life and represent two of the most common reasons why patients come to see an otologist. In many instances, ear pain and pressure are thought to be due to an "ear infection" or "allergies'', though patients may receive little to no benefit from medical therapy. Further, many patients are told that their ears look "normal", thus the source of their symptoms cannot be their ears!
During this seminar with Dr. Zuniga, listeners will benefit from learning about the most common causes of ear pain and pressure and the specialized techniques utilized by the professionals at Shohet Ear Associates to arrive at an accurate and timely diagnosis. We will also discuss several medical and surgical treatment options.
