What Causes Sharp Pain In Ear Radiating To Brain While Talking Over The Phone?
I has been complaining of extreme pain when talking on the phone only. He describes it as a sharp pain that goes from his ear through his brain. This started with cell phone use and now it is with the use of any phone (cell or land line). Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
As per my clinical experience, the sharp pain in ear radiating to brain does indicate possible alterations in the fine balance of endolymph or inner ear cochlear apparatus. The pathophysiology behind the same is damage to hair cells most likely. However, a Weber and Rinne test with audiometry are very essential diagnostic tests to proceed with for the current issue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
