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.
Earaches usually occur in children, but they can occur in adults as well. An earache may affect one or both ears, but the majority of the time it is in one ear. It may be constant or come and go, and the pain may be dull, sharp, or burning. If you have an ear infection, fever and temporary hearing loss may occur.
