Allergy symptoms are annoying and can be difficult to ignore. However, don't attempt to relieve itching or irritation by scratching or inserting anything into your ear. For mild cases, over-the-counter antihistamines can provide relief. For more severe symptoms or if you can't resist the urge to scratch, contact your physician or hearing care professional. These providers will provide appropriate treatment options and evaluate your hearing, if necessary.
Remember, conductive hearing loss due to allergies is short-lived...
