Ive had this problem for about nine months now along with dizziness. I tried many things with no resolution. I have had a mild ache in one of my teeth for about a year but assumed it had no connection so left it. It gradually got worse however and I visited my dentist yesterday. As it turns out i need 9 fillings and a root canal on the tooth (which turned out to be infected), along with probably 2 wisdom teeth removed! He said that this was most likely the cause for my dizziness/ ear pain. I am not certain this is the cause as havent resolved them yet and checked but I really enourage everyone to visit their dentist! I just assumed I might have needed just one filling on that tooth and was sure it had no connection to my ear pain!

Thank you for your information. I've had this pain for 7 years. I will definitely be seeing a specialist and run these tests by him. This seriously gives me hope. Thank you!

It has nothing to do with with low level of projesteron, promlem in the ear canal or anything else. This pain is only because of the pressure. Nothing to worry, but surely it is very painful.
Go for very soft pillow & keep replacing...

Hi my partner and I confessed to each other that we both suffer from what we refer to as ear crush. We have both had it most of our lives and never confessed to others and suffered in silence. We decided to look online for other earcrush victims and we found your post. Too funny and great description so good to know we are not alone.
Thank you
Sharon and Paul :-)

People! It's not the weight of your head....your head and ears were made for each other. It's more likely a allergy to the fabric of your sheet, or detergent, or pillow filler. Try a new pillow, new sheet, washed several times in water or free and clear, and your ear will be fine.
Next question...why don't you have issues in other areas? Well, if you are a woman, do you feel like you get urinary tract infections for little reason? Still get adult zits from time to time?
I could be very wrong, or a little bit right, but worth trying. I now only have this issue when sleeping at hotels or friends houses. I found sheets that worked for me 100% cotton, no dye. Clear and free detergent. And if I still have an issue, pull my blanket over pillow and throw away in the morning.

So glad you posted. This is me exactly. Do the diet adjustments help? I've also had tmj and neck pain I can't seem to get rid of on that side.

when i got the infected tooth extracted it completly went away! i would go to dentist and if not teeth check for o/other bacterial/other infection! (go to doctor....are lymph nodes on neck etc. swollen?)

Thank you for your post. May I ask what type of CPAP headgear (mask, nasal pillow) are you using that does not interfere with your Chondrodermatitis?

Hey there i get this problem too and i find just simply laying two pillows longways and placing my ear in the middle does the trick and its quite comfy too :)

I also have low progesterone and the pain in the cartilage in my ears. I would have never thought to connect the two. Thanks for the information, I'm going to investigate your hunch further. It would be nice to get some relief from this ear pain, I've suffered with it for years.
