A member asked:
Ok so i was asleep and now my right ear is numb??? and it won't go away how do i make it not numb

Exam: I would suggest an examination by a trained physician. The most common cause would be nerve compression from sleeping on a folded ear or cervical ( neck) nerve issues: in wither case you must be examined and evaluated.
