During normal hearing, sound waves travel through the ear canal and strike the eardrum causing it to vibrate. Age, disease, injury or repeated exposure to loud noise can damage the various structures of the ear and interfere with hearing.

Veritgo
Vertigo is a feeling of dizziness or sudden sensation of spinning when there is no real movement.

Otitis media is more common in children, because of the length and position of their eustion tubes. Management by a doctor is required to treat this condition.
