âº A donor is also someone who gives blood or who agrees to give an organ or body part to help someone else. (Definition of âdonorâ from the Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary Â© Cambridge University Press)
Middle ear and outer ear infections are common causes of sharp ear pain. An infection of the inner ear, formally called labyrinthitus, may cause sharp pain as well as a loss of balance. People with a bad cold or the flu often experience sharp ear pain.
A foreign object in the ear can cause pain and hearing loss. Usually you know if an object is stuck in your ear, but small children may not be aware of it. Don't probe the ear with a tool. Don't attempt to remove the foreign object by probing with a cotton swab, matchstick or any other tool.
