A Complete Guide to How We Hear and Maintain Balance

Understanding Your Ears With MicroCare ENT Super Speciality Hospitals, Hyderabad

The human ear does more than help you hear. It also helps you maintain balance and stay aware of your surroundings. When you understand how the ear is built and how it functions, you can easily recognize early signs of hearing or balance problems. This knowledge also helps you protect your long-term ear health.

At MicroCare ENT Super Speciality Hospitals, Hyderabad, we believe that patient education is as important as treatment. This guide explains how your ears work and helps you notice symptoms that may need medical care.

The Ear: A Three-Part System

The ear has three main sections. Each one supports hearing and balance.

1. External Ear – Sound Collection & Protection

The external ear includes:

  • Pinna (Auricle): The visible, curved part that collects sound.

  • External Auditory Canal: A short tube that carries sound to the eardrum. It also contains wax-producing glands.

Functions of the External Ear

  • Collects and directs sound waves

  • Helps identify the direction of sound

  • Shields the ear canal from dust, insects, and infections

2. Middle Ear – Mechanical Transmission of Sound

The middle ear is an air-filled space behind the eardrum. It consists of:

  • Tympanic Membrane (Eardrum): Vibrates when sound waves strike it

  • Ossicles (Malleus, Incus, Stapes): Three tiny bones that amplify sound

  • Eustachian Tube: Maintains equal pressure between the throat and the ear

Functions of the Middle Ear

  • Converts sound waves into mechanical vibrations

  • Amplifies these vibrations

  • Keeps pressure balanced for clear hearing

3. Inner Ear – Hearing & Balance Control

The inner ear is a fluid-filled system deep within the skull. It includes:

  • Cochlea: Changes vibrations into electrical signals for the brain

  • Vestibular System: The semicircular canals, utricle, and saccule that help control balance

Functions of the Inner Ear

  • Identifies sound pitch and loudness

  • Sends sound signals to the brain

  • Maintains posture, balance, and spatial awareness

Eardrum Rupture (Perforated Eardrum)

An eardrum rupture is a small tear or hole in the tympanic membrane. Because the eardrum helps transmit sound, damage to it can reduce hearing and increase the risk of infection.

Common Causes

  • Ear infections: Pressure from pus or fluid

  • Trauma: Slapping the ear or inserting objects

  • Barotrauma: Sudden pressure changes during flights, diving, or altitude shifts

  • Loud noise: Sudden exposure to explosive sounds

Ear Infection With Discharge

Ear discharge may include pus, fluid, wax, or blood. When an infection becomes chronic and creates a persistent hole in the eardrum, it leads to repeated discharge. This condition is called chronic otitis media

Why Do Eardrum Holes Occur?

  • Many factors can increase the risk:

    • Repeated colds and blocked Eustachian tubes

    • Poor nutrition or overcrowded conditions

    • Allergies and sinus issues

    • Skin problems inside the ear canal

    • Enlarged adenoids

    • A previous eardrum injury

Ear Wax – Your Ear’s Natural Protector

  • Ear wax:

    • Guards the ear from dust, germs, and moisture

    • Prevents irritation from water and pollutants

    • Traps dead skin and debris

    • Keeps insects away

    • Helps maintain a healthy ear canal

Hearing Loss

  • Hearing is essential for communication. When the pathway from the ear to the brain is affected, it becomes harder to understand speech or detect sounds.

What Is Tinnitus?

  • Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sounds like ringing, buzzing, humming, hissing, or clicking. Sometimes, the sound may match your heartbeat (pulsatile tinnitus).

    Key Facts

    • Tinnitus is usually not dangerous

    • It can become worse with age

    • It may improve with the right treatment

    • It can start in any part of the hearing system

Causes of Vertigo (Giddiness)

  • Vertigo can occur for several reasons.

    A) Ear-Related Causes

    Conditions that affect the inner ear include:

    • Labyrinthitis

    • Meniere’s disease

    • Vestibular neuritis

    • Fluid leakage from the inner ear

    • Chronic ear infections

    • Mastoiditis

    • Cholesteatoma

    Many of these conditions cause vertigo along with tinnitus.


    B) Reduced Blood Flow to the Brain

    Vertigo may also occur when the brain receives less oxygen or blood.

    • Irregular heart rhythm

    • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

    • Sudden drop in blood pressure (postural hypotension)

    • Side effects from medications

    • Anaemia

What Is the Eustachian Tube?

  • The Eustachian tube is a narrow passage that connects the middle ear to the nose and throat.

    Functions

    • Keeps pressure equal on both sides of the eardrum

    • Drains mucus and fluid

    • Protects the middle ear from loud pressure changes and infection

    The tube opens briefly when you swallow, yawn, or chew. This helps maintain normal ear pressure.

FAQs on Ear Conditions – MicroCare ENT Hospital, Hyderabad

What are the most common ear conditions?

Ear conditions include infections, hearing loss, tinnitus (ear ringing), earwax blockage, eardrum perforation, otosclerosis, vertigo (inner ear disorder), and chronic middle ear diseases. These issues can affect hearing, balance, and overall quality of life. At MicroCare ENT Hospital in Hyderabad, our specialists diagnose and treat all types of ear problems using advanced technology.

Ear infections often occur due to bacterial or viral infections, allergies, sinus issues, or fluid buildup behind the eardrum. Children are more prone because their Eustachian tubes are smaller and get blocked easily. Timely treatment prevents complications like hearing loss or eardrum damage.

Common signs include ear pain, discharge, fever, reduced hearing, irritability (in children), or a feeling of fullness in the ear. If symptoms persist beyond 24–48 hours, visiting an ENT specialist is recommended.

Hearing loss is diagnosed through a detailed ENT evaluation, hearing tests (audiometry), tympanometry, and advanced imaging if needed. MicroCare ENT offers complete diagnostic services under one roof to determine the exact cause.
