The conditions that affect the ear include infection, tinnitus, Meniere's disease and eustachian tube dysfunction. Ear infections most commonly occur in the middle ear, where bacteria and viruses become trapped; treatment usually involves antibiotics, and in severe cases ear tubes may be necessary. The eustachian tubes connect the middle ears to the throat and open when a person yawns, sneezes or swallows to equalize pressure; when they become clogged, the result is eustachian tube dysfunction, with symptoms including tinnitus, muffled hearing, a sensation of fullness and possible ear pain. Swimmer's ear is an ear canal infection caused by bacteria or fungi, often from water, hair spray or other irritants in the canal. A ruptured eardrum can result from infection, trauma, loud sounds or foreign objects, and while most heal on their own in a few weeks, some require surgical repair such as tympanoplasty. Otosclerosis occurs when the tiny bones of the middle ear harden and stop vibrating, usually requiring surgery. Perichondritis is an infection of the skin of the outer ear, typically from injury or trauma such as piercings, contact sports or ear surgery. Vestibular neuritis is inflammation of the vestibular nerve, causing sudden vertigo often with nausea and vomiting, treated with medication and possible physical therapy. Meniere's disease affects the inner ear and causes dizziness, vertigo and a feeling of fullness in the ear.
