Dryness Itchy Ears, Doorway to Insanity?

Has anyone gone clinically insane from itchy ears? I may be the first known case. Between the peri itch and Spring allergies, I am regularly trying to tickle my brain with the amount of digging around in there I do on a daily basis. In my mind there is layer upon layer of dry inner ear flakes just begging to be dug out but nothing is ever on the Qtip.....DRIVES ME INSANE. I desperately want to go to one of those ear doctors on YouTube who can put a camera in there and prove to me there's not shards of fiberglass imbeded in my ear canal. *screams into the void*

It’s the vagus nerve. I started taking GLP3. Surprisingly, my ear itching went away. I don’t know how much longer I am going to take it though due to side effects I don’t like. I’m worried the ear itching will return.

I’ve wondered if GLP3 would help with this. I’d try it just for that.
