When I touch the side of my face I have altered sensation after 6mth ear infection

The skin is completely normal, not dry, no rashes but when I touch it, it feels fine yet the sound in my ear is like that of really thick sandpaper.

I've recently had a 6 month ear infection in the left ear (same side) but this altered sensation is around my ear, on my ear too including ear lobe, across my cheek and jaw line.... basically everywhere on the left side of my face apart from my forehead.

I m thinking it s the nerve but there is no facial paralysis so I'm confused.

My ear infection finally stopped when I got sepsis from it, resulting in hospitalization on IV antibiotics. Since then I've had this altered sensation increase to basically half of my face
