A member asked:
I have a middle ear infection in both ears that hurts at times & can only hear people talk when they're beside me. should i go to school or stay home?

OK for school: I would go see your physician for an ear, nose, and throat exam. They may be able to give you some medications to help treat the middle ear infection. Typically, ear infections are not contagious so you should still be able to go to school.

What does it mean when your ears loudly ring at all times even when you go to sleep or wake up. When people talk its worse. Hard to hear certain thing?
Im concerned I either ruptured my ear drum or have an infection. I have no pain but the hearing is off. I got a home otoscope and it definitely does not look like the other side?
