TMD?: One possibility is trauma to your jaw joint capsule which is immediately in front of your ear canal. Get to a dentist for an evaluation and possible ideas about how to manage the problem and let the symptoms subside.

Thanks for asking!: Could be tmj, could be an ear infection. You'd have to be examined.
