Question 3

what can cause your inner ear to tickle and sometimes itch?

Accepted Answer

Skin inflammation: Almost all of my patients with this complaint "clean their ears." they use qtips or peroxide or other measures to remove wax from the canal. The wax is there for a reason - it protects the ear canal skin. When the skin is unprotected it gets inflamed and can itch. Stop cleaning your ears! other reasons can include sensitivity to shampoos, soaps or hair products that get in the ear.

will flying make inner ear /balance symptoms worse ? or aggravate when better ?
