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.
Diseases of the outer ear like a boil, an accumulation of wax, any foreign object stuck in the ear, otitis externa, trauma to the ear canal resulting from ear buds or matchsticks and cancer of the ear can cause ear pain.
