I think some folks are describing what might be 2 different kinds of 'hot ear' problems. I am 28 years old, and began having 1 hot ear, always the right one, while I was pregnant 2 years ago. It seems to be nearly random, as it plagues me regardless of lack of caffeine/alcohol consumption. The heat is so intense I use ice packs or frozen peas to reduce the discomfort. Like a few mentions above, I also suffer from TMJ disorder and pain, and these two seem to flare up around the same time, though not always together. I also have been dismissed by doctors which is very disappointing, pehaps I should print off all of these posts and bring them in next time I see him!!
