HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if there is no ear pathology, and guess it that this must have been tested for the same, and MRI is unremarkable then it is could be due to trigeminal neuralgia, on tentative basis this can be treated with "Carbamazepine 200 mg" once in day, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
