Otalgia (ear pain) can have many different causes. Primary otalgia is ear pain that is directly related to a problem with the ear. Common causes of primary otalgia include: earwax/cerumen impaction, swimmer’s ear/acute otitis externa, Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media, acute perichondritis, Otitis Media, mastoiditis and ear trauma. Secondary otalgia is ear pain that arises from another place in the body. Common causes include sinusitis, temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), disease in the oral cavity/oropharynx, migraine/tension headaches or neurogenic (nerve-related) pain.

Otalgia may be acute (short-term), chronic (long-term) or recurrent. A person with acute otalgia may have ear drainage, feeling of fullness in the ear, nasal congestion, fever or headache. Chronic otalgia typically occurs without any other symptoms. Recurrent otalgia may be accompanied by dizziness, tinnitus or hearing loss.
