Two separate and distinct types of earache exist:

Otitis externa symptoms include:

  • Individuals with mild cases may describe an itch instead of pain
  • Touching or pulling on the ear helix may worsen the pain

  • Ringing or Buzzing sound in the ear
  • Swelling of the ear and thick drainage from the ear canal

Otitis media symptoms include:
