When I was a kid I use to get tinnitus treatments. They would use a tuning fork and place them at their different frequencies behind my ear the vibration would go into my inner ear and I found the treatment relieving. I have a genetic condition that mal forms the inner ear hammer ,the wishbone shaped bone and the Snail fibbionachi spiral shaped bone. It would help my tinnitus , migraine, and even jaw joint pain. Tmj.

I have it sometimes too. I usually have to sleep on my side, so I use a memory foam neck pillow and try to make sure it stays below my ears, then I don't have any pressure on them. This seems to help my shoulders some too.

It's so interesting hearing everyone talk about what I thought was a personal problem. I don't have pain inside of my ears but on my ear flaps (if that's what they're called). I have to sleep on my back all the time now, though I long to sleep on my left side. But just can't. I use a wedge and the softest pillow I can find, and I.have spent so much money trying everything out there.
When my ear does hurt I have found that putting a bit of cortisone cream gently on the area and using the tip of my finger to smooth it around really helps. I keep my nails extremely short now.

I got this for the first time last week. The pain went from my ear and was shooting up my head. I put a hot water bottle on it and that really helped x

I do same thing and ear just feels likes bent but it not.
