    It might be the muscles in her neck are strained. If she keeps her hand in one position for using the mouse pad. Maybe an external keyboard and mouse might help.

    I wonder if you have wireless nearby?

    But having said that I do and never get earache but I guess it could affect some and not others.

    We have wireless but that has been set up for years. She has an appointment with the GP in a few days so we shall wait and see?

    I doubt wireless would give an earache. (wireless: 2.4 Gigahertz of electromagnetism, limit of human hearing: approx 20 Kilohertz of air compressions).
