WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment
Do I Have an Ear Infection Quiz - Symptoms and Signs
Check current ear pain, pressure, drainage, hearing changes, balance symptoms, and signs that may need prompt medical attention. This free 15-question self-check cannot diagnose an ear infection or distinguish infection from wax, injury, allergies, or another condition. Contact a healthcare professional for persistent or worsening symptoms. Seek urgent care for swelling behind the ear, sudden hearing loss, facial weakness, confusion, a stiff neck, severe dizziness, or significant injury. Do not put objects or drops into the ear unless a clinician says they are appropriate.
