For about a year now I get a feeling like there is a bug in my ear crawling around. It can happen in both ears. I went to the doctor and had him check. No bug and no explanation. The only way I can get it to stop is to lay on my side and put a few drops of hydrogen peroxide in and let it bubble away for a while. This lasts for a few weeks. Doe's this sound like a dry ear issue?

I assume the doctor you went to was an ENT and he ruled out infection or fungus. Did he clean out your ears or comment that your ears were dry or had a lot of wax or that you had eczema? Is he the one who suggested hydrogen peroxide?
Does anything come out of your ears after you use the hydrogen
peroxide? I don’t want to suggest anything but I will tell you that I have flushed out gently with warm water with the syringe that comes in the box with Debrox and it’s helps with itchiness and hopefully flushes out some residual dried wax. I don’t do this too often and only when my hearing is severely compromised by the dryness as wax is a natural protector of the ears. And I use mineral oil on a semi regular basis. My itchiness is mostly gone. I have never had the sensation of a bug crawling around and thank goodness you don’t didn’t have one....happens but I think it is rare.
