A member asked:

When ever i hear loud sounds or high pitched noises i get a ear ache and a slight headache. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ear pain: Intratympanic muscles are contracting to protect the ear from noise. These stretch or tense the eardrum which activates receptor pain fibers. best to use ear plugs or a headset if such exposure is anticipated. Headache caused by muscle tension or splinting.
