Sharp pain in left ear whenever it pops?

Question

Well starting this afternoon, I began to get sharp pains in my left ear. These pains only occur when I pop my ear (like when I open my mouth wide enough, and when I yawn). My ear is also popping very frequently, with almost 'every' swallow, though there is only pain when I yawn, etc, as mentioned above. Are there any doctors on that could help me, or does anyone know what this could be?

Also, there is no pain otherwise, and there is a slight high-pitched ringing in just that ear. It's starting to feel kind of plugged up too. But I can hear out of it fine.

Thank you in advance.

Please help ASAP.

Sounds like the start of an ear infection. An ENT (ears, nose, throat) specialist is who you need to see.
