Default Geniculate neuralgia (possible)

Hello - first post here. I have been having inner ear pain that lasts a fraction of a second, comes and goes in episodes anywhere from 1 pain a day to a few times a day, to several days with no occurrence. It’s purely episodic and no rhyme or reason. It’s been going on for the past 6 months wherein I was originally treated by ENT thinking it was an ear infection. Ear is perfectly normal. Even clear CT scan so i could rest assure. Pain still occurring so went to dentist who said it was cavity on top right wisdom tooth. Proceeded to remove all 4 wisdom teeth- pain still came back. Was referred to Oral facial Dr as the ENT thought it might be TMJ related. He couldn’t find anything as I show no jaw pain symptoms-only ear pain. In researching, I have come across Geniculate Neuralgia and it terrifies me to think this may be my condition? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I made a neuro appointment but won’t be seen for 1 month.
