Is there a history of fluid or drainage from the ear within the previous 90 days?
If you have moisture in your ear other than normal moisture from perspiration, swimming, or bathing, the drainage can be a sign of infection or other ear problem. Drainage can be any color or consistency. Even if you have had this condition for many years and have been told that there is no cure, you should have an exam by a doctor to see if you should wear a hearing aid.
