When should I see a doctor for an ear condition?
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should see an ENT doctor for further examination:
Severe or prolonged pain: If you have severe or prolonged ear pain, it could be a sign of an ear infection.
Hearing loss: If you experience sudden or gradual hearing loss, it’s important to see a doctor to determine the cause.
Vertigo: If you feel dizzy or have a spinning sensation, you may have vertigo, which requires medical attention.
Ear discharge: If you have discharge from your ear, it could be a sign of an infection or injury.
Tinnitus: If you hear ringing, buzzing, or other noises in your ear, you may have tinnitus, which can be a symptom of an underlying condition.
Earwax buildup: If you have excessive earwax buildup, it can lead to ear infections or hearing loss.

In addition, if you have a fever, headache, or neck pain along with any of the above symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately.
How are ear conditions treated?
At your appointment, The ENT & Allergy Centers of Texas clinical team will take the time to listen to your symptoms to understand the severity, causes, and concerns around your condition. Our physicians will perform a physical exam of your ears, using an otoscope or other instruments to look inside your ear canal. Depending on your symptoms and what is seen during the physical exam, they may order further testing, imaging, or connect your with a member of our audiology team for a hearing test.
Treatment options will depend on the underlying condition. Our team will work closely with you to determine a personalized treatment plan that works for your needs and lifestyle.
