Ear tickle for me goes way deep like behind the jaw. Nothing relieves it but it is sporadic. Also, I’ve had tinnitus several years from being a music performer, but Covid certainly increased it! I have some diminished hearing as well now.
I had Covid 2yrs+ ago. Still wondering if all this will go away in time. No one knows

Hi @carnet - you'll see that I moved your question to this open discussion about COVID isolation and testing:
-Still contagious w/COVID: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/still-contagious-w-covid/

You can see above the great advice that @sueinmn shared from the CDC about isolating.

For your ears, you may want to read through some of the responses on this conversation that @welchllb started:
-Long COVID and Ringing in the ears: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/ringing-in-the-ears/

Have you been able to find any remedies that relieve the ringing temporarily, or is it constant?
