The phrase "talk one's ear off" likely emerged in the early 1900s from the irritation and frustration felt by listeners who are unable to get a word in due to someone speaking constantly. The idiom is used informally and often in a critical manner to describe an inconsiderate or self-absorbed speaker who fails to recognize how their relentless talking affects the listener.
