A member asked:
Can you tell me, are ear infections common in adults?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adults and ears: Ear infections are less common in adults than in children. The reason behind this can be attributed to anatomical differences in the size/shape of the head and the structures that allow for drainage.
