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.

I have had that sensation, it's an itchy, irritating weird feeling that in my case is caused by eczema, extreme dryness and is helped by the hydrocortizone cream the doctor recommended. He told me never to use hydrogen peroxide again, as I did that weekly?? thinking I might have an infection due to the weird feelings and feeling stopped up. He said that is a drying agent, do not use it...so, I don't. The cream helps all my symptoms. I suggest you have your ENT help with this and ask him about using the cream. My ENT is at Mayo and I do trust his advice. Hope this helps. Blessings elizabeth

He was my primary care Dr. not ENT. We usually have to start with primary then get a referal. Anyway, I was sure there was a bug in there. I tried a few things and it would stop and then start again. The sensation was making me a little crazy. He did say the ears were clean no wax.
Now that I know what to do if it starts I am not going to worry.
Thanks for the reply.
