Since 1 year or so, at random times, I get sharp pain that lasts few seconds in my ear, which reoccurs every several hours or the next day It comes on when I use headphones, and especially at the moment of removing them. I use really low volumes but that doesn't help much. I listened to music at loud volumes hours long in the past, but never been doing that since few months. Recently I've been finding wax after using headphones. Doctors around are so terrible, I prefer self-diagnosis.
