What Could Chronic Crawling Sensation In Ear With Severe Pain Indicate?

So for a long time now I ve had this feeling in my ear. The only real way to describe this felling is to say it feels like there is a hair or something crawling around in there. It feels like this feeling is coming from the harder, thicker part of my ear surrounding my ear hole (sounds so professional I know). So anyway, I couldn t take this feeling anymore, as it drives me crazy. I, thinking it was water or something like that, poured hydrogen peroxide down my ear to dry it up. Needless to say that didn t work. So now I m up at the crack of dawn in extreme pain whenever I yawn or burp etc...... What should I do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The correct word- pain on yawing or burping- this means you have fluid inside the ear drum not out side. There may be Eustachian tube dysfunction causing all the symptoms of hair in the ear and pains .
Additional TM joint Arthralgia can cause similar or added problems.
Get checked by an ENT Surgeon for clinical evaluation and further tests.

The final treatment will depend upon the findings
