Hi,
You seem to have contact allergic dermatitis on post auricular areas. As you said,hearing aid material may be responsible.
You consult dermatologist and have firm diagnosis. You may apply steroid cream and may take antihistaminic with steroids in tappering dose.
You also change the hearing aid or keep cotton cloth to avoid contact of plastic hearing aid directly to the skin. You may contact ENT surgeon.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
