Is it possible to have inner ear pain from thyroid nodules?

[julie383]

I just found out 2 weeks ago that I have a nodule that is 2cm along with several others on my thyroid. I have always had a large thyroid but in the past nothing was ever found. For the past few years I have had pain in my left ear and was wondering if this could be contributing to it. Some days the pain will almost be non-existent and then other days it is awful. The doctor looked in my ear and said I have trapped fluid inside but how can this be a constant problem? Doesn't the fluid eventually dry up? Is this even a possible problem from the thryoid nodules I have? Thank you.

I had my thyroid levels checked and it came back normal. The Dr.wants me to have an RAIU..I believe that's what it's called? Im new to this! Nothing was mentioned to me about the hashimoto's. Some days the pain in my ear will last all day long, other days it is very minor. Today is one of the bad days!

I have similar pain, but in both of my ears.  I do have nodules on both lobes.  My pain lasts for a few seconds, then go away.  It is a very sharp pain.  Do you have hashimoto"s?  I was guessing my pain could be related to hashi's as well.

I plan on asking my doc about it next week.
