I have had hot ears for at least 15 years. The left is related to blood sugar; when it is low the ear is hot, when it is normal the ear temp is normal. Others with hypoglycemia have said they had the same experience. However my hot right ear is another matter. It seems to be related to anxiety. If the ear is hot, most always in the late evening but sometimes in the afternoon, I will be unable to sleep. This has kept me awake for up to 5-6 hours. Xanax dealt with the anxiety and the hot ear goes away; first time every time. Well most times, I have been so stressed that .75mg of Xanax and a Ambien CR will not let me get to sleep; usually another .25mg of Xanax solves this problem. I have always had a high tolerance for pain killers and the like; most others find much smaller doses of Xanax very effective. I would say that anything that reduces stress, at least for me, reduces my hot ear problem. Since I've had this so long it doesn't appear to be a physical illness, but other things can also cause the same problem. Hope this helps someone.
