What Causes Numb And Blocked Sensation In Right Ear?

Hi I have been having a mild numb sensation in my right ear. I have no cold, flu or other symptoms of any kind. At work a few of my colleagues have had serious ear infections recently resulting in loss of balance and feelings of dizziness.

It feels like my ear is a little blocked up as well.
