Yes!: Itchy ears are sometimes a sign of swimmers ear. You can use solution made with equal parts white vinegar and water. Place 2 to 4 drops in each ear twice a day for a couple of days, if there is any worsening or there is no improvement in a few days, consult your doctor.

Yes: Acetic acid drops (2%) are commonly prescribed for ear hygiene and may be effective for treatment of chronic otitis externa which is associated commonly with ear itchiness, or aural pruritis.
