Pounding in left ear while typing on keyboards, what could be the reason?

I feel a pounding in my left ear when I am typing on the computer.
It's very annoying and bothersome.
There is no rhythm to it, and I do not feel it at all times.
Usually after typing a certain amount it appears, from which point on I notice it at every click.
If I stop typing it disappears again until I write enough.

Hello~That would be very annoying. The only thing I can think of is maybe you have your head and neck in a certain postilion and this is causing the issue. It may be causing some pressure in your TMJ, which could possibly cause this feeling and when you stop, the pressure on the TMJ is also released. TMJ is "Temporal Mandibular Joint", and it can cause all kinds of weird issues at times.

Perhaps take more breaks if you have to do a lot of typing, maybe this will help.

I appreciate the answer. I will try keeping my head in different positions to see if it has any impact.
