Suggest Treatment For Ear Hurt After Talking For Longer Time Over Phone
my ears hurt after talking on the phone for long periods of time. It happens with ear buds and with speaker phone and putting the phone to my ear. Afterwards, I am sensitive to loud sounds and continued phone calls cause more discomfort. I have not had any signs of cold or congestion. This started a few months ago, otherwise I do not recall such sensitivity. I am a salesman and need to be on the phone to make a living.
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of pain in the ears after talking on the phone for long periods of time. Yes,salesman has to have the phones for a living. The commonest reasons for such an acoustic sensitivity is seen in the people with excessive use of cellular phones. The most common reason is the defect of the speaker of your phone, the defective speakers cause repetitive trauma over the ear drum making it very sensitive. I would advise you the following in such a case: First of all change the handset of your phone as the defective speaker must be causing this problem. Secondly, make a trial with many brands and select the one whose speaker is causing you no disturbance. Use speaker phone as much as possible. Use landline phones whenever possible or when you are in the office. I hope this answers your query.
