What Causes Numbness In Left Ear Lobe?
I have had several ear infections over my lifetime and have had surgery on my left ear to remove infection. Over the last few months i have been experiencing slight ear pain but it goes away. Since yesterday my left ear lobe has been numb. I have never experienced this before, just wondering if i should be concerned? Thanks anita

Hi, thanks for your query. Yes ear infection can cause numbness in the ear lobe. Once the iinfection reduces, the numbness will reduce. Thanks.
