Hi, you should see an ENT as you have history of ear infection and tingling sensation on the face can be because of a build up of fluid or inflammation. A persistent middle ear infection/fluid can lead to some pressure changes on the facial nerve. But some non specific neurological problems can also produce similar symptoms. So, if your ENT after ear examination thinks that the problem is unrelated to ear, you need to see a neurologist. Regards
