Earaches

/ˈɪrˌeɪks/ noun

Definition

Plural form of earache; multiple instances or occurrences of ear pain.

Etymology

Simply the plural of 'earache,' formed by adding the standard English '-es' suffix to indicate more than one ear pain.

Kelly Says

Kids who get repeated earaches are actually experiencing a common pattern—their Eustachian tubes haven't fully developed, so fluid gets trapped more easily than in adult ears.
