Cold sensation in ear

[Deb904]

I've had a sensation that feels like cold water running out of my ear. When I touch my ear there is nothing there. Lately ny neck feels a little cold also. It is a very weird feeling. Has anyone experienced anything like this and maybe knows what this could be?   Thanks

Has anyone tried to get a massage for this issue? I feel like it's a pinched nerve or something similar.

Hi again,Hi again,
Anyone who has managed to find some relief to this problem or managed to get rid of it?

I find using ”nail carpet” to help or give temporary relief. Laying on each side of the head for 30 minutes increases the blood circulation and reduces/eliminates the cold sensation in the ear /ear channel.

Anyone who has managed to find some relief to this problem or managed to get rid of it?

Hi all,

Does anyone find a solution or relief for this problem?

My ears have been hypersensitive to cold for almost two years now. Anything below 10 degrees °C or 50 degrees °F and I get the cold / menthol sensation in my ears.

This is an old thread, but to anyone reading this: if you are having this sensation, it might be worth looking into the possibility of Lyme disease or a similar infection. I had this feeling and am seeing improvement on antibiotics. Some people can have a chronic infection that lasts for years and it can cause all kinds of strange neurological symptoms like this. I am still having the water sensation here and there, but it seems to have decreased and I hope it will get better as I continue with the antibiotics.

Everyone thought I was crazy when I described my symptoms. I was convinced I had water in my ear until after a long series of tests. The ENT  said she was positive there was no fluid anywhere. She said if it was a CSF leak, it would present as post-nasal drip and you could check for that by leaning forward and seeing if you could get clear water to drip out of your nose continuously (assuming you don't already have a runny nose). The only way I can convince myself to stop checking for water is to constantly remind myself that the water would be warm, not cold, if it's coming out from inside my body.

I have been having a cold sensation in my left ear with some wetness along with wetness behind my left ear. Can some one tell me what that could be.

[reverend_tirebiter]

I, too have had chronic seasonal headaches accompanied by the cold sensation in my ears.  Happens mainly April & October. I live near St. Louis, MO.  I've also never tested positive for common allergens.

I don't know if this is connected or not, but today (really bad today) my neighborhood *reeks* of mulch. . .

i started to have the exact symtoms starting two weeks ago.  its like someone is inserting an ice cube in my left ear and after it gets real cold there is a severe pain.   sometimes it feels like its my left side of teeth.  i went to emergency 3 days ago. doctor could not find anything and gave me amoniciline saying it will kill any kind of infection.  so far taking it for 3 days (with tylenol every 4-6 hours) no difference...  :(.

Do you still have this problem?

[Muhammad_Asad]

I have a strange type of cool sensation in my left ear, it starts from inside and flow to the outer. Few years ago, I was having severe infection in that same left ear with a lot of liquid coming out for six months but then suddenly it stopped and recovered. This cool sensation is from last 8 to 9 months and it puts me in great anxiety, sometimes it continue for days and sometimes disappears in hrs.

i had the jaw pain for a month. started to take aspirin because doc said it was just a inflamation. today all day i feel a drop of water running from my ear, same side as the jaw pain. it is driving me crazy and its been less than 12h

I also have the cold sensation in my inner left ear. My left jaw is also achy and tender at times and sometimes "pops". In your many doctor appts and investigations, has anyone looked into a connection with TMJ ? I'm just getting around to exploring the doctor route (after months of this!) and can't decide if I should start with an ENT or a dentist? Your thoughts??

[feaablp]

i  have the cold feeling in my ear its my left ear i dont understand it al all ive cleaned out my ears soooo many times and its still there

[T_U_N_E_R]

Wow!  I got a reply!! Thanks so much!  I didnt think I'd find anyone with this problem anywhere!  
My ENT doctor called me today and said he saw some swelling in my sinuses on my MRI.  I have another appointment to have him look at my sinuses again in a few weeks.
Since then they took me off the Amitriptyline and put me on Neurontin, but it doesnt seem to be doing anything at all for me. I wonder if the swelling in my sinuses is distrubing a nerve in my face somewhere causing this? I will be sure to ask.
I've only had this icy-cold feeling for a short time compared to your long ordeal laaz.  
Thank you for the information.  I will research it further and be sure to ask questions!

I too have this same sensation but mine is all over my entire face and many areas on my body.  I have had this for 6 yrs.now.  Had soooooo many test done MRI, Lumbar puncture, etc.   Went to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnestota.  They said it is a small fiber peripheral neuropathy.  EMG will not show a small fiber neuropathy.  That test is usually for large fiber neuropathy.  Steroids did not help me either.  None of the mediction has helped at all.   I know  exactly how you feel about it driving you crazy - after 6 yrs. you would think that I would be able to live with it but I really can not.  My life has not been the same.   I am a totaly different person than I was 6 yrs. ago.   Hate my life and I dread opening my eyes in the morning.   Sorry I got off track.    Maybe since your's hasn't been so long that you might have some hope in controlling the symptoms with some medication.    Keep in touch and let me know what you find out.   Mention to a Neurologist about a small fiber peripheral neuropathy.  Not many doctors really think about that one I don't think.   As over the years I went to about 20-30 doctors.     Take care       Laaz

The ENT said i dont have an infection and my ears and sinuses are normal. I then went to a neurologist. I had a brain MRI done, which turned out totally normal.  The doctor prescribed taking steroids but they had no effect. I started getting numbness, or a sensation of my face being asleep on the left side. My ears still hurt although more on the left side now, and they still have that icy cold sensation inside, along with the feeling of a bad untreated ear infection.
My left cheek bone under the eye feels sore like its bruised, but its not. This feeling comes and goes. RIght now my left cheek is numb.
THe doctor gave me tylenol with codeine to help with the pain.  I doesn't seem to do anything for the pain, but I take them anyway because regular tylenol does even less, and I'm going crazy feeling like this every day and night.
Now the doctors gave me amitriptyline for a two week trial.
Im not sure what this will do and why I got an anti depressant drug.
Can anyone help to shed some light on this mystery?
Thanks
