Brief Answer: Serous Otitis media (Otitis media with Effusion) Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX, Thanks for your query. The symptoms as mentioned in your post suggest that you might be having Otitis media (infection/inflammation of the middle ear) most probably Serous Otitis media (Otitis media with Effusion/Glue ear) In this condition, the middle ear cavity gets filled with serous fluid, resulting in bulging of tympanic membrane (eardrum) & interference with transmission of sound resulting in conductive hearing loss or on an off noise in ear. Local examination of the ear along with tests like Audiometry & Tympanometry will help in clinching the diagnosis. Depending upon this, further steps for management can be taken. So, it will be better to consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation & exclusion of pathological causes for the symptoms. There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Wishing you a Good Health. Please let me know if I need to clarify further. Take care.
