Vulcans Illnesses

Do you think Vulcan's get ear ache? I currently have crippling ear ache and usually when I'm ill I write a story that involves a character having a similar ailment, just because it makes me feel better. I imagine that their hearing is sharper than humans and they can hear a slightly higher frequency but I wonder if because of this they're got extra inner-ear protection...

Would they be likely to catch to certain human ailments, such as the common cold or by then would we have found a cure? Maybe there are certain Vulcan equivalent to measles, 'flu and whatnot...

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ear ache cures?

Star Trek "Enterprise" revealed a few surprises about the Vulcans.
If you haven't seen the series yet, you may find it Fascinating.

Hope your ear ache clears up soon.

I play a Vulcan in the RPG.  I've written about Sevryll's sensitive hearing on a couple of occasions...I think it's feasible that they would also have earaches. I hope your earache goes away too. :)

I watched the first season when it was on Sky One, I didn't really like it but I'm told that the fourth season was very good. Did they deal with ears?

I remember from a TOS episode they mentioned Spock having good hearing. For some strange reason I've got a mental picture of a Vulcan walking around with cotton wool in their ears...

I hope my ear ache clears up soon as well, I have to be up early for work and it's making sleep very difficult.

In one episode Archer was accused of "ear envy". It seems Vulcans do have a sense of humor, although it's repressed most of the time.

In season four the ears again proved to be a dominant feature as they where with Spock's Vulcan father and Human mother's union.
