There are many pressure points that can be used to treat earache so it is important to understand the cause of the condition before writing an acupoint prescription. I would like to recommend consulting your primary physician to check for a possible infection first before seeking alternative treatments. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM.

There are two main points for the ear: GB2, si17. Their locations are shown below. I am not an expert in acupressure, so recommend acupuncture to release pain, which can also release ear pain, when these points are stimulated more effectively with needles. For more: newmansacupilates@gmail.com
In front of ear and behind the ear. GB 41, SJ 3
You can pressure the points GB2,GB20,BL8, GB6,7,8
Non specific since each patient is treated diff since the origin is not the same
As an acupuncturist, I don't deal in pressure points. My treatments are much more complex than a pressure point or two.
There are so many acupuncture points for ear pain that I suggest you see a good acupuncturist who can help you out with acupuncture, massage and herbs.
This isn't how acupuncture or Chinese medicine works. There is no one point or set of points for the treatment of any issue. Treatments are individualized and based on your specific case - i.e. why are *you* experiencing *this* ear pain.
Without seeing and diagnosing you, it's difficult to impossible to give you any point or points that might be useful in your situation.
If you'd like to try acupuncture or Chinese medicine, and for pain conditions this is an excellent choice, I suggest seeing a board certified, state licensed acupuncturist. You can go to NCCAOM.org and use their 'Find a Practitioner' lookup to find providers near you.
