What Causes Numbness On Ear Lobe?
My left ear (outer) started to fall asleep (at the ear lobe) a couple of hours after waking up this morning. I normally sleep on my left side but not last night. I had trouble falling asleep and ended up on the couch and slept a couple of hours sitting up. It is several hours later and it is still numb. Is there something I should worry about or see a doctor. Or, am I just being paranoid?

HI
Well come to HCM
The numbness in the ear lobe is not the common complain nor the condition and this could be non specific one and this condition does not need any treatment some time this may be due to some functional elements, hope this helps.
