A member asked:

Itchy throat(a little) ears itching, heart burn and some regurgitation, question is can heartburn cause itchy ears?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not often: Laryngopharyngeal reflux can cause ear symptoms, usually one sided pain or pressure. Itching is not common although possible. Avoid qtip use and see someone who can look in the ears and rule out an otitis externa or eczema.
