What Causes On And Off Numbness/tingling Inside Left Ear?

My left ear feels like it goes numb/tingly inside on and off all day and like it could have cotton inside. This feeling has been happening for 2 1/2 years now since I had our last son. I have a pinched nerve and sciatica and was wondering if it could be coming from that or what else could be causing it?

Hello,

The symptoms you describe are non specific and not clear. As it has been present for more than 2 years now, I recommend that you visit an ENT near your place. Avoid meddling with your ears till then and do not use buds.
