Even more painful & disfiguring is the increasingly common malady, brought on by excessive use of cell phone, bluetooth and the like:

Tomato Ear!

“Tomato Ear!”

I won’t get that. I keep my cell phone on speaker so I don’t have to put it up to my ear. I’m not keen on cooking my brain or hearing.

I know this is an earlier thread, but I can’t find anything online about it. A friend of mine uses a bluetooth phone in his ear. Every sound he makes, like running the water or wadding-up a piece of paper is tremendously magnified. As the recipient, the discomfort to my ear is excruciating. Would you know if other recipients of bluetooth calls have this experience? Thanks.
