I ve had a sensation of pressure surrounding my left ear on and off for a month. Specifically I have had a feeling of numbness around my left eye, particularly near the brow, as well as the temple and behind my ear. I ve been experiencing headaches and occasional dizziness. Generally there is a dull pain around the general ear area, and sometimes brief periods of sharp pain either inside or surrounding the ear. I fly quite often, and when I try to equalise my ears, the affected side pops yet does not feel clear. I think this blocked feeling is also affecting my quality of hearing slightly. I had a lot of issues with my ears as a child... I m now 24 and haven t had an issue for many many years. It s kind of a confusing feeling as at times I feel fine and then I get the headache and the other symptoms...I often cannot pin point whether its my head or ear that is causing the issue... Any suggestions? Thanks.
