Viral vs. Bacterial Ear Infections

Ear infections occur when contaminated fluid gets trapped in the ear and bacteria grows into an infection. The bacteria can come from swimming or bathing in contaminated water or it can come from a virus or bacterial infection in your upper respiratory system. If you’re recovering from a cold or flu and get an ear infection, it’s likely that it’s a viral infection. A fever is more common with a bacterial infection but can be the result of a virus as well. A viral ear infection may clear up on its own in about a week, but bacterial infections can last for weeks or months and may require medical intervention to treat. Both types of ear infections can affect hearing.

Your ability to hear is as unique as your fingerprints. Illnesses and medical conditions, heredity, noise, and age  can combine to produce different types of hearing losses in different people. When you need help with your hearing, we hope you’ll turn to the services of a hearing aid specialist at ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS. We’ll search for the solution and hearing instrument best suited to your hearing abilities.

P.S. While the viruses and bacteria that cause ear infections can be contagious, the ear infection itself cannot be passed on to another person.
