    Ear “throbbing”

    Left ear seems to be quite often “throbbing” a little. I have worn hearing aids for several years and have occasionally had this feeling, but not this often and for this long. Could this be ALS related? This kept me up for some time during the night. Could not get back to sleep for awhile.

But I'm genuinely at my wits end and don't know how to cope any longer, so perhaps just discussing my issue a...
