A member asked:

Having earache fever and decreased hearing after a cold. am i too old for an ear infection? can both ears be involved or only one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any age possible: Although middle ear infections are more common with infants and toddlers, anyone can have one at any age. One or both sides may be involved. Reduced hearing is more a sign of retained fluid than true infection but occurs in both.
