Earring of Burrowing (Magic Earring)

This item appears to be an earring of protection. However, when worn it changes into a small burrowing bug that enters the ear immediately. The victim becomes deaf in that ear (-1 penalty to surprise rolls) and dies in 24 hours unless a remove curse spell is applied by a caster of at least 15th level. A cure disease spell stops the bug for four hours, increasing the cursed victim's survival time by that amount.
