What do you know about Ear Diseases?

The ear is one of the most important organs of the human body. An essential organ for listening to voice is made and gifted to us. There are three parts of the ear. These are outer, middle, and inner ears. Ear diseases are related to these parts and are classified according to ear parts.

Have you ever experienced an ear-related health issue?

A few ear-related issues have been faced by me, not a severe one. The water dipping to the ear was common with me, but by shaking my head firmly, it was ejected off from the ear. Once a mosquito entered my ear and then dropped the solution assigned by a doctor, it became healthy.

How can we effectively prevent and treat ear infections?
