What Causes Pulling Sensation In Ear While Using Cell Phone?
I have tinnitus in my right ear, so I use my left ear to speak on the phone. I have noticed that when using my cell phone my left ear lobe burns and I feel a weird pulling strange sensation at the side of my head on the same left side. I did an MRI about 3 years ago looking for an acoustic neuroma when I was diagonosed with the tinnitus. I am wondering is it radiation from the phone causing this strange feeling?

Hello,
Long term exposure to radiation may decrease hearing due to radiation injury or acute neuronal fatigue lead temporary hearing deficit.
Please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
