I'm experiencing something strange with my left ear. Occasionally, it feels numb and there's this odd tingling sensation. Sometimes it even spreads to the left side of my face. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

Found out about this issue around 89 months ago but never had any pain or discomfort since then. Is surgery really necessary if there's no pain? Has anyone else had patients with a similar experience?

If there‚Äôs no pain or complications, observation may be okay‚Äîget regular follow-up imaging.
