Which symptom is described as dull, left-sided fullness with popping or pressure?

• A. Vision Changes
• B. Earache
• C. Discharge
• D. Hearing Changes

Answer: (B)

This item tests recognizing how ear-related symptoms present, especially those describing fullness and a popping sensation from pressure changes in the ear. The description of dull, left-sided fullness with popping or pressure fits with ear involvement and the accompanying discomfort or pain that often comes with it. Earache best captures that combination—ear pain that can accompany a sensation of fullness and intermittent popping as pressures equalize or shift in the middle ear.

Vision changes would point to eye or neurological issues, not the ear. Discharge implies drainage from the ear, which isn’t described here. Hearing changes describe a change in hearing itself (like muffled or reduced hearing) but don’t necessarily include the fullness and popping sensation as directly as earache does.
