Tickling and pressure problems in ear.

Posted , 1 user is following.

A few weeks ago i felt a strange tickling sensation in the outer canal part if my ear, almost like there was a single hair tickling the inside of my ear but i never found a hair or anything. It was not constant and happened every now and again for about a week. This stopped and now i have a strange feeling in my ear, kind of like i need to pop it but then it doesn't feel any better after i do, and is a repeating cycle. The best way i can describe it is that its as if the pressure is messed up? My ear doesn't hurt, it feels slightly blocked every now and again but isn't serious and i've noticed i get dizzy and have tinnitus more often.

It seems to go away in the daytime and get worse at night. This has been happening for about 2 or 3 weeks now.

The only other ear problem i've had was an ear infection over 5 years ago in the same ear and the doctor said it may have perforated the ear drum, could this have something to do with it? Should i just wait it out and see what happens as it is not painful just annoying and a bit worrying.

Apologies for it being so long.
