First you are in need of a diagnosis, and that is most likely to come from a medical doctor preferably an ear doctor. There are other causes of ear pain and one could be a TMJ disorder causing referred pain to the ear. TMJ ear symptoms can include one or all of the these; ear pain, ear ringing, pressure, and perceived hearing loss.

Assuming no jaw problem or structural ear issues such as infection, could consider nervus intermedius neuralgia as alternative explanation. See otolaryngology
