Itchy ears!

Hi everyone, I bought a pair of bernafon Chronos 9 aids from Costco about 9 months ago or so. They work really good & are hypo allergenic & are clear looking heavy plastic style…I have been dealing with VERY itchy ear canals now for about 6 months or so…have done some research & found that my ears could be very dried out. I really don’t ever see any wax in them when I clean them out with a Qtip. I mean they really are very clean & these aids stop any wax from forming…was wondering if anyone ever deals with this…there are some days when they itch so bad I feel like taking a long skinny stick & scratch them!!! LOL
Anyone have a solution?

My dermatologist recommended Scalpicin Maximum Strength. I have also used Hydrocortisone Cream 1%. Both work for me for similar itch problems. I apply both with a q tip.

Ear wax in moderate amounts protects against itching. Your aggressive campaign against earwax may be contributing to the problem. Use only a q-tip loaded with one of those moisturizers listed. Never a dry q-tip. There could also be a fungal infection. Several of those ointments should take care of that.
