Gas in the eyes was simply washed out w/ water, which didn't help the
ear & which occurred when changing a gas line in one of my ac buses, &
gas came down onto face & eyes, then when I turned head in order to
avoid gas, got gas directly into the ear!

I am still alive & well as this incident was a couple of years ago.
The RN wife, googled gas in ear, & came up w/ all kinds of advice,
some of which was actually taken-poured hydrogen peroxide in the ear,
& it stopped hurting almost immediately, IIRC.

Ouch!

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-like I said when in doubt, google
