Left ear pain

Asked for Male, 36 Years

I have ear pain which lasts for weeks at times and then goes away. It is now over 6 months and ENt doctors are saying I will have till I have hearing loss for them to do something. The pain is inside the left ear and no wax is coming out. Also, my top left tooth area is irritated. As they both lie in same area, is it possible that there is a common infection affecting both together?

Ear pain lasting for more then six months is unlikely to be primary ear problem. Sometimes pain in other area such as teeth, temporo Mandibular joint, tonsils can get referred to ear which is known as referred otalgia. In your case it seems to be teeth.
