What is crawling sensation in ear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends.: You can truly have an insect inside your ear (have seen a small cockroach in a pt's ear canal). So have your doctor take a look. If someone is under the influence of illicit substances (usually cocaine), this is likely from the drugs.
