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?

The problem with the ear pillow is it design; they have a pillow with the ear hole right in the middle of the pillow. Each person has a unique dimension between their shoulder and the ear. My numbers are 4.5 inches from center of my ear and my shoulder height. The pillow I have is 16” X 12”. The dimension from the edge to the hole center is 6”.
I don’t think we are all have the same dimension from the center of our ear to our shoulder height. If the ear hole were larger it would be better. But as it is it is not very useful to me. The neck pillow allows me to adjust it in various positions to be comfortable. The ear pillow is ridged and don't allow adjustment.
