Hi, thanks for your query.
In my opinion, you might be having a external ear infection, which is very common in people using hearing aid. Remove hearing aid for couple of days. mupirocin ointment for local application + anti inflammatory medicines like paracetamol + diclofenac combination drugs twice daily for 3 days will help.
If symptoms persists, then please consult with your doctor and get evaluated properly. Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
