To give you a temporary relies and to help you get some sleep, I use a neck pillow that is like a full round the neck pillow that allows me to sleep with my ear on the middle of the opening. That is what I have been doing while I try to find a solution to my problem. It holds tour head up and keeps your ear from contact with the mattress. Try to get a neck pillow that is not to hard or not to soft. I tried three till found one that worked.

Welcome @mdm1ttc. I'd like to tag fellow members like @nrd1 @nibor63 @tim100 @staceyhope @poco @cyndi30107 @ellienewfan who have found different methods for relief from outer ear pain.

I'm glad that the neck pillow is providing you some relief, however you mention that the relief is temporary. Is this because you can't sleep with the neck pillow for the night? Do you have the pain when not lying on your ear?
