What Causes Ear Pain And Loss Of Hearing In Children?

I have a 6 year old son. For the past week I have noticed him asking What? a lot. I have also noticed he talks loud. This evening he had to turn the T.V. up loud. I am wondering if he has hearing loss or if it is just a ear/sinus/cold issue. He has stated that his ear hurts and it feels different. I am not sure if I should take him to have his hearing checked or to the doctor. Just needing a push in the right direction.please.

Hello. I just read through your question.
The most common reason for what you describe is fluid in the ear. This typically happens as a result of a cold or other upper respiratory infection. I recommend consulting with your doctor and having the ears examined.
