Hello...
The symptoms as mentioned in your post may be due to:

1. Infection/inflammation in the ear.
2. Upper respiratory tract infection spreading to the ear.
3. Intake of drugs which can cause damage to the hearing apparatus (Ototoxic drugs)
4. Systemic causes like abnormalities in blood pressure or blood sugar levels.
5. Prolonged phone calls leading to fatigue of the concerned muscle groups.

So...it will be better to consult an ENT specialist & get a proper physical examination done.
Intake of self medication or OTC drugs may be harmful in this regard.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Thanks & take care.
