What Causes Ear, Nose, and Throat Infections?

Many ENT infections are caused by viruses, bacteria, or allergens that irritate the mucous membranes in your ears, sinuses, or throat.

Infections may also develop after swimming, air travel, or using certain devices like in-ear headphones, hearing aids, or CPAP machines.
