A member asked:

Fungus in ear wath are the symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pain, itch: Ear fungus is often the result of an over-wet ear canal. It can come after being treated for other types of ear problems and needs to be diagnosed and cleaned out by an ent. Don't leave it untreated since it can progress and destroy your hearing, balance and even get into the brain.
