I used to have severe ear pain and no ear infections and had an mri of my ear. I would cup my ear cause it seemed to help the pain. I thought it was coming from my eye pain at the time but I am not sure. I have always been sensitive to noise but even more so now. I tend to wear earplugs and have a fan running to quiet back noise. Not to sound rude but people noise whether it be singing,yelling,gum popping really get to me and make me so anxious. I feel like I have the hearing of a dog almost. From the doctors I have seen for RSD it is very hard to find one who connects RSD to eyes or ear pain. Of course I am not saying this is RSD in your ears but for me I think it was connected. I always fear saying something is RSD and then it not and having even more problems.
Are you on any meds that may impact hearing?
