Less likely: Less likely with titanium, but unfortunately, without a trial it is hard to know with metal allergies. Please discuss with your primary care doctor.

Clear nail polish: If you would like to wear titanium ear rings , coat them with clear nail polish. That could help diminishing an allergic reaction.
