Do Hearing Aids Cause Pressure In The Ears?
My dad has tubes in his ears (ENT added them about 2-3 months ago during an appointment regarding my dad having sudden hearing loss). He now has a hearing aid that is inserted back in his ear. Could the tubes/hearing aid cause pressure issues? I cannot find anything online regarding ear tubes/adults/hearing aids.

Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that ear tubes or hearing aids are usually well tolerated.
The pressure in the ears could be related to an infection (if present).
For this reason, if your father is experiencing pressure in his ears, I would recommend consulting again with the ENT specialist for a physical exam.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
