ear phones are type of fomites...your ear canal is exposed to it, results in infection of that part of ear (external ear). Pls avoid use of the earphones,Occupol Dx Ointment locally would be helpful. If symptoms are more, consult in person.
Next Steps
Avoid Ear phones for few days
Health Tips
Consult in person if unbearable.Over the ear headphones are safe in comparison to in the ear/airpods.Also would advise to keep the sound low to medium as constant use of loud music in headphones may cause noise induced hearing loss gradually. be careful.

Stop using ear phones for a week, get a proper consultation to diagnose and treatment it, don’t put anything in your ear, keep it absolutely dry. If u can show ua ear on a video i can prescribe u medicines. Like antibiotics.
