A member asked:

When i listen to music my left ear hurts afterwards?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear: good question. May be the fit of the earplug or "tensor tympani myoclonus where the small tendon that links to your stapes bone responds to loud music by contracting vigorously.See an ENT to check it out
