Hi, My Name Is Cindy. About 2 Years Ago My

Hi, my name is Cindy. About 2 years ago my left ear started feeling stuffy and numb. Sometimes it feels like there's a hair in there or something crawling around in my ear, but nothing's there. My ear rings constantly. Sometimes I lose my balance. I don't fall, but I stumble. I am 59 years old. It is almost always like that now. It hard to explain. I really feel it in my neck right below my ear lobe. I don't know if this could be serious or not. I don't run a temp. I could use some advice please.
