What Causes Severe Pain In Left Ear?

I was just woken up by the worst pain I've ever felt. My ear feels like a gunshot has gone off inside of it. I got ear infections all the time as a toddle. But I'm 15 now and haven't had one in years. It is in my left ear and i can't lean my head or anything it hurts so bad. And i really need sleep. Please help.
