What Causes My Ear To Clog While Talking On Phone?
The problem of ear clogging and pain started whenever I used cell phone for a long duration for an hour or so . Now my ear starts clogging even when the just pick up the cell phone and hear a sound. Of late I feel my ears clogg also when I talk over the landline . This was not the case earlier. My audiometry results show normal only a slight abnormality in the left ear but otherwise my ears are healthy per ENT doctor . Please advise

Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear apparently, many cell phone casings contain free nickel which often causes skin problems, just like cheap jewelry.
Check out this table which shows the results of nickel spot testing on 23 different cell phones.
There is also concern regarding the electromagnetic waves emitted by cell phones that may also cause blood circulation changes that may lead to discomfort as well. use ear phones while speaking. please consult your doctor if your symptoms not improved. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions feel free to ask.
take care
