    Rhinitis may cause otitis media. In particular, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, acute rhinitis, and allergic rhinitis can cause otitis media.

    Rhinitis can cause inflammation of the nasal mucosa, hypertrophy of the turbinates, blockage of the eustachian tubes, and a large amount of nasal discharge. Bacteria and viruses in nasal discharge can retrograde into the middle ear cavity and cause otitis media. Purulent discharge occurs in the middle ear cavity, causing ear stuffiness, earache, hearing loss, and even headache and fever.

    Therefore, when upper respiratory tract infection, acute rhinitis, and allergic rhinitis occur, rhinitis should be given in time, and nasal sprays, such as decongestants and nasal spray hormones, are conducive to eliminating nasal edema and reducing nasal secretions, so as to control rhinitis and prevent the occurrence of otitis media.

    Rhinitis is one of the complications of rhinitis.

    There is a passage between the nasal cavity and the tympanic chamber of the middle ear, called the eustachian tube, and when there is rhinitis, bacteria or viruses may reach the middle ear through the eustachian tube and multiply, causing acute inflammation of the middle ear mucosa. Therefore, rhinitis may cause otitis media, and it is necessary to actively carry out ** to prevent complications such as otitis media. In most cases, rhinitis and otitis media will get a good prognosis.

    Usually pay attention to exercise and improve physical fitness.

    Rhinitis has the potential to cause an onset of otitis media.

    Because after the onset of rhinitis, if the disease is more severe, it may lead to inflammation and infection, and if the patient blows the nose in an incorrect way, it may also cause the inflammatory discharge produced by rhinitis in the nasal cavity to enter the eustachian tube or middle ear. Once the above conditions occur, the patient's otitis media may be induced. After the onset of rhinitis, such patients will have obvious ear congestion, pus, itching, pain, and other abnormal sensations.

    Once rhinitis causes complications of otitis media, it should be actively treated by ear irrigation or taking anti-inflammatory drugs to avoid adverse effects on hearing.

    Rhinitis can affect hearing. Long-term rhinitis can lead to otitis media, mastoiditis and even dizziness, headaches, etc. in the ears. Rhinitis is acute and chronic inflammation of the nose caused by viruses, bacterial infections, or allergies.

    Rhinitis is mostly accompanied by runny nose, nasal congestion, and even a decrease in the sense of smell, and if long-term acute rhinitis does not heal, it will prolong into chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis can occur frequently, and can cause recurrence of rhinitis when the air quality is poor or the immune function is poor. Rhinitis can lead to obstruction of the Eustachian tubes, which can cause otitis media and hearing abnormalities, and at first there will be a buzzing sensation or tinnitus sensation, at this time, it is necessary to go to the hospital to check the acoustic impedance or electrical audiometry of the ears and the brainstem evoked potentials.

    In the initial stages of rhinitis affecting hearing, the intervention will not cause irreversible damage to hearing.

    The back of the nasal cavity is the nasopharynx, the back and upper part of the nasopharynx is the eustachian tube pharyngeal opening, the eustachian tube is connected with the middle ear cavity, if it is rhinitis, the turbinate mucosa is swollen, and it spreads backward to the nasopharynx, or the inflammation of the nasopharynx is relatively heavy, which will lead to the occurrence of inflammation of the eustachian tube in the nasopharynx.

    It is true that rhinitis causes hearing loss, which is due to the occlusion of the Eustachian tube, and the exuded substances from the mucosa of the middle ear cannot be discharged from the Eustachian tube, resulting in the accumulation of secretions in the middle eardrum, and over time, the thickening of the periosteum affects its activity, resulting in hearing loss.
