Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Pain and now hissing and pulse sensationin your ear, indicate a middle ear infection.
You have to consult, an otorhinolaringologist , to perform an ear examination, because you might need to start an antibiotic treatment.

Hope I have answered your query.
