Okay.... for about a year (?) I've had this lmp behind my ear, near my ear lobe. Recently I've noticed it's getting bigger/more painful and I've been getting earaches, and today my hearing wasn't so good in it for a while. What could it be???

My guess is a fluid build up.. but don't quote me on that. Your really should get it seen by your GP.
Yes, but in case you didn't notice there is a whole discussion lounge titled "Health and Relationships". I don't know what kind of threads you want on here!
Yeah I think I know what this is. My sister had one when she had an ear infection last month - the doctor told her it was an inflamed lymph node. Apparently, you get a swelling behind your ear if there is an infection in the vicinity (in my sister's case, it was an infected piercing). Doc said it would go down when the infection disappeared, put her on a course of antibiotics and both the infection and the lump have since completely gone. Go to your GP and get some medicine, mate - it's nothing to worry about and can be easily rectified.
