Thanks c t, I can relate to that. I had an itch and one wise doctor gave me a course of tablets which I had to take for 5 days and it knocked it dead! You have to keep shopping for a doctor who will listen. ... View related article.
Okay, I went and had my nose pads adjusted and the pressure on side of the nose was relieved but ear problem still remained. I decided to continue with the EarClear drops and when I have a shower I let the water run inside the ear canal and then tilt head to let the water drain. There is an improvement while the ear canal is wet but an hour or so later, tickling sensation recurs. I know it's a no-no but I went hunting for a bobby pin because I feel that it's a bit of skin. Couldn't find a bobby pin and so I took the cotton off a cotton bud and carefully inserted that to try and scrape as far as I could. A little flake of skin of about 2mm x 1mm came out. A few hours have gone by and the sensation is either gone or I've pushed the offending obstacle off the nerve. Next week will go back to the doctor to get a second opinion if it returns. ...

I started to experience this in my left ear since last week after I had new silicone pads replaced on my spectacles. The sight out of my left eye felt "odd", sort of blurry sharp but I put it down to getting used to the newer pads as the old ones were well worn. What has this got to do with my ear? Well, by evening of that day I started to feel this tickling sensation in my ear. I normally have my ears syringed yearly and figured it was due. I bought ear oil first and then four days later went to my doctor. She didn't see much wax and the offending ear had less wax than the other however she proceeded to syringe my ears. Not much came out. I felt good but after about an hour or so (probably after my ears had dried) the sensation came back. I have a feeling it is the new pads as there is a bit of redness on the left side of my nose when I remove my glasses. May have to go back to the optometrist to have the nose pad adjusted slightly. Will advise what happens. ... View related article.
