Ear ache and minor hearing loss in both ears?!

Nonmedical treatments are available that you can try at home to relieve an ear ache. Chewing gum may help relieve the pressure in the ear. For children who are not old enough to chew gum, you can give them a bottle to suck on. Another option is to apply a few drops of olive oil to the ear, which can relieve the discomfort. Cold compresses or wet cloths applied to the outer ear may also help. Ear pain can also be worse when lying down, so prop yourself up a little--even when sleeping--when you have an ear ache.

If I had your problem I would stay at home. You haven't got over your cold, it's probably viral infection and is traveling trough your body and affecting your ears. Go to your doctor on Monday.

Many children will have temporary and minor hearing loss during, and right after, an ear infection. Permanent hearing loss is rare, but the risk increases with the number of infections.

Ear pain in children is often caused by a buildup of fluid and pressure behind the eardrum, in the area called the middle ear. The middle ear is connected to the nasal passages by a short narrow tube, the Eustachian tube. The Eustachian tube allows normal fluids to drain out of the middle ear, and helps keep the pressure in your ear equalized.

A cold or allergy can block the Eustachian tube due to inflammation and the buildup of secretions. This is especially likely in small children, because their Eustachian tube is shorter and more horizontal. Closing of the Eustachian tube prevents the normal flow of fluid from the middle ear. The fluid begins to build up, which can cause stuffiness, pain, hearing loss, and an ear infection.

Ear pain in adults is less likely to be from an ear infection. What you perceive as ear pain may actually be coming from another location, such as your temporomandibular joint, your teeth, throat, or other location. This is called "referred" pain.
