Answer:
You might want your primary physician to refer you to an Ear Nose and Throat doctor. Some ear canals can have “pockets” that are not noticeable by looking in the ear canal with a standard otoscope, and an ENT doctor can use a more powerful microscope to get a better view of the ear canal. Further, if there is a question of whether the tickle is in the canal portion or the middle ear portion of your ear, the doctor can discuss with you the best way to treat the irritating tickle.
