Hello
After labrynthitis having such pain and numbness is unusual.
You must get done a HRCT scan Temporal bone and CT scan Brain to rule out any focus of infection .
The numbness over cheek could be due to compression of cranial nerve which does not pass from the ears.so it needs to be investigated.
Also you must be checked for Diabetes and the blood sugar level should be tested.
Consult an ENT specialist and get investigated.
