My left ear has been hurting the last two days, and I'm scared I may have damaged it.
I have had this pain before, but it has never lasted so long before. I knew it was from overuse of my IPOD and so I would take frequent breaks from using it. A few days ago I listened to a few songs and then the pain started. Do you think my ear can still recover, or have I damaged it? What's your experience? Please help!

take ibuprofen if you aren't allergic and don't have liver problems. you can also mix rubbing alcohol and vinegar 1 tsp to 1tsp and place 3-4 drops in ear four times a day, this will kill any otitis externa you may have started in yourself. You need to do it for 7 days.

After going to 3 concerts in one week over the summer, my ears hurt for maybe a week, but they're fine now.

Maybe you have an ear infection. I heard that listening to music through headphones increases the bacteria in your ears.
