I started to have twitching near the
ear, temple back in October. It was an odd occurence which caused me to jump, as the suprise of the sudden twitch. While I wouldn't describe it as very painful, it was rather alarming and quite worrying
Around the time I had got it, I had been having a lot of caffeine ( something which I no longer do), but also had got a palm to the ear area about perhaps a week or two beforehand. Slight hearing loss occured for a while, but then returned to normal.
