Tinnitus vs. Q-tips

[Cristian Ro]

Hi,

My tinnitus came with a "itchy ears" symptoms.
The ENT showed me that I have no ear wax inside, my ears still were itchy as hell.
For years I use/d q-tips to scratch, sometimes 4 a day... very annoying.
Now my T. got worse and I read that maybe the ear wax was pushed into, further, and blocked something...
Can this be a possibility?

Thanks.

It's possible, but if the ENT checked that and said you don't haver a wax buildup, you probably don't. It doesn't seem like something that's easy to miss.

By the way, don't stick those things in your ears. You should never insert anything into your ear canal, you do risk blocking it with wax or damaging the canal/drum which can make T worse.

Do you suffer from allergies ?
