Everyone has itchy ears sometimes and it can be quite irritating to the point where some people resort to sticking items in their ears like, car keys, pens, cotton buds, paper clips etc to relieve the itch.
There is the old phrase:
“never put anything smaller than your elbow into your ear“
Sticking anything in your ear is never a good idea. This practice could cause trauma to your ear canal and eardrum. The best way to relieve the itch is to find out what is causing the issue in the first place. There can be various reasons that may be causing your annoying itch. In most cases this itching may not be caused by anything serious however, in some cases it may indicate a medical condition. The best way to manage itchy ears is to see an Ear Nurse who will use a microscope to look down your ear canal. She will be able to remove wax build up by microsuction and will also check for other possible causes of skin irritation or infection
