It can be associated with allergy. Since there is a history of cholesteatoma, there can be a possibility of a middle ear infection leading to the given symptoms.

My ears have shut down and the area between my ear and jaw is swollen and the back of my neck has pain. I will be going back to the doctor in the morning because thet vaccum out my ears and they say I have small ear canals.I tired of saying to my family what did you say.
