Itchy ear canals?

I have a tube through each eardrum and wear BTE hearing aids. Is there a product to control the itch which I can safely use?

Why tubes at your age, do you have allergies? If so get desensitized
The most common cause of itchy ears is the use of Q tips. Leave your ear wax alone, and itching is likely to resolve. You should never use OTC ear drops in your ears if you have tubes.

Best to see your ENT for ear cleanings to remove skin debris
Hello,

I would recommend seeing an ENT physician. There is an oil that can be used during the night .
