Noise in my right ear

Published by

My right ear has been itching me for the past six months. In addition, it also makes some noise. I have been to hospital without any improvement. Kindly help me.

There are many causes of your kind of ailment. They include the presence of ear wax which can harden and block the ear canal, causing discomfort and itching, earache, and more. Others are: Migraine, Ear canal infection, Eczema which can cause itching as well as the presence of a foreign object which can cause pain, redness, drainage problems, and in rare case, hearing loss. As for the noise, this could be caused by Tinnitus which is a ringing, buzzing, clicking, hissing, or roaring sound in the ears. Since you have been to hospitals without any improvement, I will suggest that you see a specialist Ear, Nose and Throat Physician who can give you a thorough check up.
