What Causes Ear Numbness With Ticking Sound?
Hi Doctor,
I just got up this morning and for the first time I had a constant ear numbness. When I shook my hear with my finger it made a little ticking sound. Also, some areas of my left part of the head feel heavy at time. I also have been having a lot of burping (gas issues) since a while. When I shook my ear to release the numbness it decreased a little bit AT TIMES but a tingling numbness is still there. This has not happened before. I had not put anything in my ear (cotton, etc.) was just sleeping like normal and had this when i woke up.

Hello,
Ear numbness may be due to peripheral neuropathy or herpes infection or frostbite of the ear or excessive pressure, infection in the external auditory canal etcetera. Until examination, done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
