Tickle in my ear

Emp_Fab

I've had a tickle in my left ear for over six months now.
Not constant, but every few hours... tickle tickle.
I've tweezered in there for days, trying to get what I'm assuming is a hair out, without success.
Tickle tickle.
I've looked in there with my little USB microscope - no bugs, spiders or anything untoward.
I've had my GP look in there - nothing.
Tickle tickle...
In desperation I foolishly put some hair removal cream on a cotton bud and very carefully wiped it where the tickle was coming from (yes, I know).  Rinsed it all out.  My outer ear canal is sore from the chemical burn now, but at least there is no hair in there anymore !!!!!!!

This evening....

Tickle tickle.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!

is it telling you to burn down churches and cleanse the streets of all ungodly filth? Or is that just my tickle that does that?

I like a gentle scrape with a Bic pen lid, when I get that itchy feeling. The feeling of satisfaction when you see the hair stuck to the lid is sublime.

Failing that, tried some ear drops/wash?

It's the voices in your head, trying to escape.

Have you tried EarCalm from your chemist?  I'm addicted to it.

+1 for the Bic pen lid @m_c ; So satisfying..

Maybe you've got a Trump in your ear:

Have you ever thought of simply going to the Doctors? 

That'll be 100 Guineas, pay the nurse on your way out.

my voodoo doll is working after all

my daughter has anitchy inner ear sometimes, it's like eczema in the ear, she has a little steroid spray that calms it down
probably not what you have, but possible

I have the same. It's eczema, and I had 3 doctor's look in there before one even said anything was wrong. I'd go to a different doctor and ask them to look.

I put a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water in my dog's ears to clean em. Try it for a start. You might just dislodge summat juicy.

I've had GPs and consultants diagnose nothing, even after £1000s of tests, then another one years later finding the cause

If you still have the symptoms, go back to see them again

could be worse - at least you can stick things in your ear without dismayed looks from onlookers...

Sorry Emp, my mistake, your ears are fucked, as are my eyes.

That'll still be a 100 Guineas though.
