I have read what others are experiencing, like horrible red hot pain when I touched the outside of my ear, not knowing what was causing it. I have also experienced feeling the small hairs inside the middle of my ear. moving, and I can feel the hair slightly cracking, so don't know if they are dying or maybe the inside of my ear is swelling because I have had fluid inside of my ear that is not going away. I am really irritated by barking dogs a couple of blocks aWAy. If the dogs are closr, I can't stand it. People drumming their fingers on the top of the table sends me ballistic.
