question: Hi. I m a 20-year old girl. I have a bump behind my right ear (middle ear area). I ve had it for 2-3 years now. It s hard and not movable. It s not painful when I touch it or even press it real hard. But the area above and around it hurts when I press it. When I headaches I get a throbbing pain around my ear and also sometimes a shooting pain on top left area of my head. Lately I ve also been feeling a little dizzy. I also have difficulty listening to music for a long time and use my right ear to talk on cellphones. I m having a tough time since I m a student and haven t been able to concentrate lately. Two years back I visited an Orthopaedic surgeon and he couldn t figure out what it was. Then I visited an ENT specialist and he laughed at me. Please help.
