Hi ((Janward)). Welcome to NeuroTalk.
Ear pain is just awful! I'm so sorry you're having these problems. I don't want to lead you in the wrong direction, but has anyone ever suggested Temporal Mandibular Joint syndrome? For years my P-doc would send me home with medicine thinking I had ear infections. Finally, when I went to him with pain in my neck up into my ear, he decided to send me to the nose/ear/throat specialists.
Luckily, that doctor knew right away what my problem was. TMJ. It flares frequently and is quite painful. It can hurt in your jaw, neck, face, ear.
But that's me. It sounds to me like you want try to get in to see the nose/ear/throat specialists for sure!!!
I'm not sure where to send you in our forums. I did a search for ear pain and came up with posts in all kinds of forums. The search feature is up above in the blue bar.
Here is a link to the forums' index as well.

Again, I think you should request a trip to a specialist. Good luck dearheart!
