Yes! I do use Qtips. I no, I no, they say not to but I always have but recently my left ear has been itching like an allergy and I used Qtip to put some allergy lotion in there too, plus it felt so good for the itch.

Maybe that it is.

I remember this happened years and years ago and scared me and as Debbie said one day it was just gone.

I am also having ringing in that ear bad right now, but I get that and contribute it to my thyroid, it comes and goes but lately it has been bad in that ear.

Thanks for the help guys, I knew you would have some answers.
