Hearing an echo or sound in one ear, especially at night, is often a form of Tinnitus or may be related to Eustachian tube dysfunction. Try avoiding loud noise, reduce caffeine, manage stress, and keep the ear dry; steam inhalation or saline nasal spray may help if there is nasal congestion. If it persists for 2 months, it?s important to see an ENT specialist for ear examination and a hearing test to rule out inner ear or pressure-related issues and get proper treatment.

Frequent ear pain with less earwax can be due to dryness, irritation, infection, or even referred pain from the throat or jaw. Keep your ear dry, avoid inserting anything inside, protect it from cold air, and you may use a warm compress around the ear for comfort. Try to notice if pain increases while chewing or swallowing, and avoid triggers. If the pain continues or worsens, consult a doctor to check the exact cause and guide proper treatment.

Your symptoms may indicate an ear infection, a perforated eardrum, or significant inflammation. You should see an ENT doctor promptly to have your ear examined, determine the cause, and receive appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or medicated ear drops. Avoid inserting anything into your ear, keep it dry, and take over-the-counter pain relievers such as paracetamol if needed. Prompt medical care is important to prevent complications and restore your hearing.
