I did go to an ear, nose and throat doctor and he told me that I had nerve damage in that ear as well as some loss of hearing, which is now more obvious then it was then. Unfortunately, he wasn't really clear as to why the cold air would affect it the way it does other than to say there was nerve damage.
I also find if my ear is exposed to wind for extended periods of time be it warm or cold that the ear begins to hurt. I avoid driving the car with the window down on the driver’s side so this does not occur.
When running try inhaling thru the nose and exhaling thru the mouth. See if it works. Feedback appreciated.
It is possible when you are running; you may be keeping the mouth closed and heavily breathing from the nose. At times, during this phase sometimes there is an increase in the pressure of air in the space behind the nose and pharynx, which may temporarily block your Eustachian tube. Try some different breathing exercises or you may try using some nasal drops before you start to run. This may help this unique complaint.

I am a 13 year old teen entrepreneur and I really think you need to check out my website for a solution that has worked really well for my 11 year old sister who has ear shunts. She can't even be out in the wind in the summer. Every year of her life she has been hospitalized for ear infections until she started wearing EarMitts bandless ear muffs. They really work and she even forgets she has them on. Her doctor is amazed. Check it out at MittsForYourEars.com You'll be really glad you did. Why suffer? These EarMitts are like a pair of warm hands covering your cold ears.
To: All Outdoor Enthusiasts with Sensitive Ears in the Cold
When your ears are cold, all of you is cold. I see so many people with red ears in the fall and winter especially. For the ladies, it's usually because they don't want to mess up their hair, for the guys it's because they don't want to give up their Linus hat.
Regardless of the reason, those cold ears can result in ear infections and even lower the immune system. I have found the perfect answer. I saw these bandless ear muffs on HSN but I didn't order then. Then I found a delightful website owned by a 13 year old teen entrepreneur selling luxury EarMitts for men and women. I LOVE THEM!
Now I can't remember what it was like without them. All I know is they are stylish and comfortable and they work! Check it out at MittsForYourEars.com

Just thought I'd share that with you both.
