The main symptoms include ear ache, a high temperature (fever), sickness, and slight hearing loss. In some cases, a hole may develop in the eardrum (perforated eardrum), and pus may run out of the ear.

The most common pathogens are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. Otitis externa can be painful due to inflammation and fluid build-up. Symptoms include discomfort or pain in the ear, pus or fluid-like drainage from the ear, feeling of pressure inside the ear, and loss of hearing.
