Can a pinched nerve in your neck cause hearing problems?

Yes, a pinched nerve in the neck can potentially cause hearing problems, although it's less common. If the nerve affecting the cervical spine is compressed, it may lead to referred pain or altered sensations that can impact nearby structures, including those related to hearing. Additionally, nerve compression could affect blood flow or nerve signals to the ear, resulting in auditory symptoms. However, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
