I feel like i have something crawling in my ear it started about 4 hours ago and it is uncomfortable its nit continuous its every few minutes?

See A Doctor Now: The crawling sensation described in your ear may actually be due to the presence of an insect. This is not an uncommon occurrence. There is great risk for an insect in this location to cause injury, infection, and more if this is the case. Removal should only be attempted by a trained professional. See your doctor NOW for evaluation and safe extraction if necessary.
