Always had a problem with my right ear. Not exactly the ear, it's the whole, um, ear system? Basically the chronic otitis of the right ear for the rest of my life. Like I can't expose my right ear to cold or get water into it. The doctors said I'll just have to go with it, there's nothing to be done.
So we had a few weeks of -20°C before and another week of that now, and despite being very careful (wearing headphones with a hat) my right ear is acting up. I can't chew without a mild/moderate painful sensation and really I hate when this happens.
And the closest doctor appointment available is next week. I'll manage as usual, but man, this is irritating.
