My ear feels a rhythmic thumping like a muscle spasm what could it be?

Ear Pain: This could be as simple as having too much wax in your ear canal to tinnitus and possible infection. There is even a dangerous cancer that can develop in one's ear canal. You need to be examined sooner rather than later.
