Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / March 2004Loud music causes ear pain?
I have been having tinnitus for as long as I can remember. For the last 1.5 year or so I also have the problem that listening to music causes pain in my left ear.... and it doesn't even have to be very loud for that. Especially headphones are strictly out of limits for me, which I found out after some while without ear ache. The pain swells up and can stay for days or sometimes even weeks and it feels as if something is stuck in my ear. There is also a slight increase of tinnitus in my left ear, but no hearing loss. Does anyone else recognize these symptons? TIA! RS Have you seen a doctor about this? > I have been having tinnitus for as long as I can remember.

The audiogram was perfectly normal. It's odd.. I also get pain around my ear shell It's more of a nuisance than anything else...

RS I get it Richard, have done for years. All of my problems started at a loud band rehearsal some 14 years ago when I experienced pain through the volume of the rehearsal. The pain and sensitivity remains today but no-one has been able to shed any light on it. I think it's a form of hyperacusis but it's not text book because .... I can get it in the absence of noise and I can seem to pass all loudness discomfort level tests when I've been checked out. Like you, the soreness can last for days even weeks.

Soft music, nature sounds, natural water sounds from those little table top fountains, fans.........keep a rich auditory environment and let time pass. Things tend to improve for noise induced conditions with this approach. Jaw clenching can also produce referred pain to the area as can other conditions. Be sure you have somebody look into that ear and see if there is anything. Loud music can be like a blow or an explosion and can irritate tissues in the middle ear space and cause ear pain, too. Hope it gets better. Marsha Johnson, MS
