Painful vibration of eardrum when people talk

[Keecee]

I did ask my doctors and all they said was, "nothing looks damaged in there."  When someone with a deeper voice is speaking to me, or if I am on the phone my ear drum will start vibrating very hard.  It is getting painful.  It is only the right ear.  My son right now has the pitch in his voice that makes it worse.  I was hearing music the other day and I had to plug that ear.  It comes and goes.  Does anyone else have an ear drum that is going crazy?  Right now my whole ear canal/ear drum, and right behind my ear on my head feels like is sore from working so hard.  Like being sore from working out.  There is no infection or irritation noticed.  So far the only help I get is by blocking that ear canal.

I have the same thing guys , when I hear certain tones it feels like a bad high pitch in my ear with vibrations but it makes my eyes close it hurts so bad , it sounds like its the 1980's  and I have my boombox up on full volume and have a blown speaker.. In other words AWFUL... does anyone have an answer what could cause this ? I ask my ENT he just srugged his shoulders ..

Thank you for replying.  I just want it to stop.  I am thankful it isn't a constant thing.  My thyroid levels have been normal.  I will check A and B12 levels.  I do have some low tone loss in my hearing from my teen years.  The ENT then said that it is not usual for a teen to have the low tone loss, usually it is the higher tone loss due to abusing the ear phones.

Hello,
There are many causes of such symptoms. It can be seen when the tiny hairs and nerve endings become damaged as a result of exposure to noise. Other causes are sinusitis, allergies; thickening of mucous in the inner ear etc. Thyroid dysfunction, Vitamin A and/or B12 deficiency are few other possibilities. A clinical examination by an ENT specialist might be necessary for correct diagnosis and treatment. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Hope it helped.
Take care and regards!
