Berkleybrain,

Like yourself I got the doctor to check my ears but he couldn't see anything. At least it is now coming and going this week, it was fairly constant last week, the tinnitus is less frequent as well. I think the earache is related to my previous more severe hearing sensitivity. I didn't really get ear pain on a regular basis until now, but previously had very painful ears from loud noise, and I still find loud noise difficult. The doctor increased my Cymbalta to 60mg so now I don't know if I have a headache or not because my head is numb, but it doesn't do anything at all for the painful earache.
