Yes, unfortunately you can get it in your ear canal. Shingles[Herpes Zoster] wil cause blisters along nerve pathways, and I believe your tri-geminal nerve pathway is close to the ear, and also your eye. Don't be afraid to demand adequate pain medication. If you are over 60 and not currently infected, there is a vaccine called Zostavax which is supposed to reduce the risk of future out breaks. I have had Shingles and know how excruciatingly painful it can be. The vaccine makes me hopeful for newer better treatments. I had my Zostavax shot two weeks ago with no adverse effects so far. Good luck to you.
