EarCallusAin'tNoGood: It's all about an abnormal environment in the inner ear (behind the ear drum).Whether chronic fluid, intermittent infections or both(the two can be related),or old trauma. It's like a callus on your foot in the sense that extra skin starts growing, which serves a useful purpose on your foot, but crowds out normal structures in the ear and can do some real damage over time.So get it tended to ASAP.
