Katie, 46, explained on her podcast how Harvey - who was born with a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome - has continuously experienced his ears 'popping'.
It's left the 22-year-old in so much pain over the last 12 months he's been reduced to tears.
Mum-of-five Katie said: "Basically Harvey's had this ear problem and he's been going to the specialist for a year and a half.
"His ear keeps popping and that's affected his year at college, learning and that, because he cries."

Pricey went on to say how she's brought Harvey to a private specialist who has suggested grommets are inserted into his ears to alleviate the pain.
She continued: "They want to put grommets in his ears and basically put a hole in it to stop the popping. So it releases something for him, which will stop that."
Concerned for Harvey, Katie told her sister Sophie: "You've seen it, he's in agony with it.
"It's so frustrating when he's in pain and there's nothing I can do."
