What Causes Heading Problems With My Ear?
I am Norm I have problems with my left ear. I have drainage several times a week. It has a horrible odor. No Pain. Sometimes I can clear it out by flushing. At times it affects my hearing so I cannot hear as well with my hearing aid. Then a day or so the hearing comes back with the H. aid and everything is ok for a while. I have been given ear meds by the Doctor. It helps for a short time. HELP
