What causes chronic ear pain and migraines together?

Mastoiditis?: Migraine is your body telling you it is stressed. You need to be aware of possible cause. For some it can be emotions, for others foods, and others allergies. With you there may be inflammation in the region of the ear that could be serious. Chronic inflammation of ear structures may be a cause. A thorough medical and ENT evaluation would be appropriate.
