A member asked:

Why does my left ear hurt the next morning when i listen to music with earbuds all night when i sleep. how do i relieve the pain and what to do?

Dr. Amrita Dosanjh answered

Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Avoid : Avoid the overuse of earbuds, keep the earbuds clean with alcohol wipes and consider a virtual consult with Healthtap. If there is drainage or fever, an infection is one cause. Loud music may cause hearing loss over time.
