touch them!

I am being serious. Especially my left ear it hurts so much the pain digs right into the middle of my ear and head.

I have tried to regularly clean my ears and use eardrops and cotton buds to loosen up anything in there but I am still in pain, and my hearing is too over-sensitive even with small sounds. When I drop something or any noises are made wherever I am, it echoes or bangs in my ears.

I tried to put a cotton bud in my left ear yesterday but the shooting pain was so horrific I couldnt even touch the sides of my earhole.

What could this be? I have had this pain for a few months now.

Any advice or thoughts?

" I've had the same problem! Its like a constant pain that goes striaght though your head. I went to an ear doctor and they told me it might be a neurological problem..... that tells me alot. I'm so over being in pain.

They told me if it was a outter ear, my ear drum would be inflamed and if it was a inner ear I would have hearing probs and need medicine to make it go away. So that was $200 for nothing. "
