Normally, when the fluid is thick, the hearing will not change due to the change of head position. If the sound is insensitive, attention can not focus, etc. may be otitis media.

Then we can check whether there is otorrhea, because patients with otitis media will have slight earache, which is usually the first symptom of the patient. It may be persistent or painful, but it is not obvious in chronic patients. This disease often has the feeling of ear occlusion and stuffy, if you press the tragus, you will get temporary light.

This tinnitus is usually characterized by low-key intermittence, such as "crackle" sound, buzzing sound, etc. When there is head movement, yawning and blowing nose, there may be underwater sound in the ear.
