As a long term sufferer of tinitis and other ear issues, I am very attune to ear pain. Tylenol or ibuprofen can be taken safely and may help eleviate the pain, however I have found that using a drop of oregano essential oil behind my ear lobe on the bony prominence has helped this condition. Also decrease in salt and preservatives has also shown to be beneficial.
