What Causes Hotness In Ears Along With Hearing Loss?
My ear feels like my hearing is tuning down. When i lay on my side, my ear gets hot and sometimes hurts. I feel worried because of it. Am i loosing my hearing? Sometimes in silence, i hear a super low - ring like noise. I got ear drops , but that made my ears feel hot and a bit of pain. I put herbs in my ears, for ear aches ; they take the pain away while in my ears but after i take them out it feels like the same.

Hello,
Hot flushing in the ears are commonly due to adjustment in the change of temperature, alcohol use, hormonal changes or emotional changes (anger, embarrassment). Ear pain with difficulty in hearing may be due to wax in the auditory canal. Get clinically examined by an ENT. If it is wax causing the discomfort it will have to be washed by the ENT in his clinic(do not do it by yourself).
Otorex ear drop helps to remove wax. You can put 3-4 drops in the affected ear 2-3 times a day. The wax will slowly come out on its own, get your ears washed by the ENT after that. Do not put tooth picks inside your ears. Your hearing will improve after that. Tinnitus causes hearing loss, get diagnosed by an ENT. Get Audiometry tests done. If required get imaging tests done to assess the degree of hearing loss & get treated at the earliest.
In the meantime, put anti-inflammatory ear drops, 2-3 drops, 3-4 times a day for relief. Take combiflam orally after food, one SOS to get relieve from pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
