The past 4 months I’ve had sharp throbbing pain on and off (roughly happens 30 times a day, I’ve starting documenting) on my left lower ear. The skin below the ear lobe is very sore and sensitive. I feel like I’m going deaf sometime too. I already have 30% hearing loss in both ears but my ear can just go numb at random times. The sharp pain happens near the bottom of ear bone. And continues along the outside crease. It sometimes hurts when I breath out but it can be incredibly painful!
