Nerve problem?: There are several nerves that control sensation of the external ear. If the ear gets numb, there is likely a problem with one of these nerves. See a doctor to figure out the cause.

See a doctor: Changes in sensation (feeling) can range from complete loss of sensation, to tingling, to hypersensitivity. There are many possible causes. Almost everyone has had their foot "go to sleep" from pressure, or staying in one position for a long time (with legs crossed, for example.) Feeling returns if the position does not last too long. Any other time, the cause can be more serious. See your doc
