I am back from the ENT. My ears are fine: the odd sensation of dampness in my ears is because I'm clenching my jaw at night, which is tiring the muscles that equalize pressure in the eustachian tubes.
The doctor recommended an over-the-counter night guard, from Walgreen's or CVS, or amazon if I'd rather not go into a store. He also said stress reduction would be good, but that's not going to be a quick thing, given the state of the world.
After the doctor looked in my ears and mouth, his assistant gave me a quick hearing test. I apparently have "ridiculously good" hearing. Also, the doctor cleared some wax out of my ears before the hearing test, not because it would be a problem otherwise, but because it might affect the hearing test results.
