    It will likely pass in time or you can help it pass now. When she screamed into your ear you responded by tightening up your neck muscles. Your neck muscles go to the top of your head for its movements, passing just inside of your ears. When the muscles are tight they can press onto the nerves to cause pains and/or hearing loss in your ears. to get rid of the problem you have to free up your neck muscles to release the tight ones pressing into the nerves and here's how to free them up:

    Neck:

    Place your hands behind your head so your fingers meet in the middle of your neck. Press into the neck with a moderate pressure and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your head as far as you can, then remove the pressure from the muscles but continue holding your head down for another 30 seconds.

    For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
