If you had "polyps" in your ear, you likely have chronic otitis media and may have had a cholesteatoma in the past.  If you are having ear pain now, you need to get that checked out by an ENT specialist to make sure that you don't have a recurrence of cholesteatoma or chronic ear disease that would require surgery.

Hope this helps.  Good luck!
