Are Allergies Harming Your Hearing?

Do you feel pressure in and around your ears recently?

The problem might not be your ears. You might have seasonal allergies or “hay fever.” In spring, pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds travels in the wind – and into the air you breath. If you’re sensitive to these, you may experience allergy symptoms like:

• Runny and/or stuffy nose
• Itchy eyes and nose
• Red, watery, swollen eyes
• Swollen, itchy, or painful ears
• Muffled hearing
