A member asked:
Can mold cause inner ear problems or middle ear problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not typically: The middle ear and inner ear are generally inaccessible to mold pathogens., unless there is something unusual about your anatomy. Bacteria and viruses are the general troublemakers in those areas. Mold and yeast infections are very common in the outer ear.
