polina has been experiencing ear drainage for several days and is having hearing problems but does not have any pain. she is scheduled to see her doctor later today. what will her doctor most likely determine is the cause of her symptoms? deafness ear infection earwax buildup ruptured eardrum

Explanation:

Deafness is a long - term or permanent condition, not typically the direct cause of sudden ear drainage and short - term hearing problems. Ear infections often cause pain, which she doesn't have. Earwax buildup usually doesn't cause drainage. A ruptured eardrum can cause ear drainage and hearing problems without significant pain initially.

Answer:

ruptured eardrum
