Collars are often used in conjunction with a leash, and a common alternative to a dog collar is a dog harness. Dog collars are the most common form of directing and teaching dogs. Dog collar is also an informal term for the clerical collar used by Anglican vicars and other clergy.
1. Flu-like Symptoms. If you feel those familiar symptoms of a head coldâfor instance, runny nose, headache, fever, and sinus congestionâyou might be experiencing an ear infection. You are especially at risk for developing an ear infection if these symptoms stick around longer than a normal cold and just wonât go away.
How Does an Ear Infection Cause Hearing Loss? An ear infection affects important parts of the ear that help us hear. Sounds around us are collected by the outer ear. Sound then travels to the middle ear, which has three tiny bones and is filled with air. After that, sound moves on to the inner ear. The inner ear is where sounds are turned into electrical signals and sent to the brain. An ear infection affects the whole ear, but especially the middle and inner ear. Hearing is affected because sound cannot get through an ear that is filled with fluid.
