Starting to suspect something wrong with the inner ear. what kind of disorder or problem would cause discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inner ear problem: Discomfort is a difficult symptom to assign a specific cause to. Your best course is to see an otolaryngologist for a complete head and neck examination. Your work-up will most likely include a hearing test +/- balance test depending on your symptoms. A special MRI may be needed.
