Inner ear pain - when pharyngeal cancer develops to a certain extent and ulcers and severe inflammation occur in the throat, it can cause nerve reflex pain. Early vocal cord tumors generally do not produce reflex pain, which mainly occurs in patients with advanced supraglottic tumors. The most common symptom is ipsilateral inner ear pain.

Foreign body sensation in the throat - these symptoms are the early symptoms of supraglottic pharyngeal cancer, but tumors originating from the vocal cord can also produce foreign body sensation or swallowing pain once they develop to the middle and late stage.
