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.
Pain in the ear can occur because of conditions within the ear, the ear canal, or affecting the visible portion of the ear. While earaches can occur first with a cold virus, sometimes a secondary ear infection may occur. These ear infections are usually sudden in onset and extremely painful in the beginning.
