Would i lose my hearing if i get too many ear infections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can.: Depending on the type of infections, where you get them, they can cause tympanic membrane perforation, scarring on the TM and alter the bones that are in charge of conducing noise. See your doctor, if this is a pattern, you might need to see an ENT specialist that can do special tests/ procedures to improve the situation.

My ears get blocked as soon as any water enters the canal whenever I shower and that tends to block my hearing. It causes infection as the fluid does not drain, what would I need to do in this instance?
