I've had pulsating, but it's not constant or very loud...

Drainage also, watery and yellow - probably pus.

It's painful at times, but comes and goes

It's due to an inner ear infection, diagnosed by the VA just a few days ago.

I'm on antibiotics and ear drops for about a week.

Within several hours of starting the antibiotics the pain went away.

I had been swabbing my ear canal with an iodine solution, which helped reduce the pain at times.

The VA doctor advised against that - it dries the skin.

I'm on antibiotics and ear drops, which seem to be working.
