Fungal infections of the ear, known as otomycosis or Swimmer's Ear, mainly affect the ear canal. Otomycosis is responsible for 7% of cases of otitis externa, or inflammation and infection of the ear canal. The most common causes of otomycosis are the fungal species Candida and Aspergillus.
Are you bothered by ringing, buzzing, or ringing sounds in your ears? If so, you have a condition known as tinnitus. Tinnitus is a common problem that affects approximately 50 million adults in the United States (there are no exact data on the number of tinnitus cases in Indonesia).

An acute cough (lasting less than 3 weeks) is most commonly associated with the flu, pneumonia, and whooping cough (pertussis). This condition can also be caused by inhaling irritants from the environment. A chronic cough (longer than 8 weeks) can be caused by postnasal drip (which irritates the throat and triggers the cough reflex), allergies, asthma (especially in children), chronic bronchitis, or gastric acid reflux disease (gastro-esophageal reflux disease, GERD).
Tinnitus is a condition when "the perception of sound is created even though no external sound is actually sounding". These sounds are most often thought of as ringing sounds, but can also be a buzzing, roaring, gust of wind, swinging, clicking sound, or hissing.
Blocked ears often feel like pressure in the ear and are sometimes accompanied by pain, dizziness, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and mild hearing loss. Blocked ears can be caused by a cold, allergies, or sinus infection. In addition, this problem can also be caused by the accumulation of pressure during flight, scuba diving, or rapid changes in altitude.
