What Causes Dull Pain And Heaviness Inside The Ear?

Hi! I have this dull pain/heaviness inside my right ear and I felt like there s something crawling in and around the opening of the same ear. I wear glasses and I m wondering if its from the pressure of where the rim of my glasses rest; but I think there s much more that that! My ear is not running/dripping nor I have felt any signs of what would make me believe that I have infection. I have not felt any symptoms... this, just started with the pain, then the sensation of something crawling in and around the opening of my ear.
