If the patient is sure that the ear itching is occurring only after wearing the headphones, they may visit the ENT department for an examination. This may be due to prolonged wearing of headphones, local unhygienic conditions or allergies caused by the material of the headphones. This can usually be determined by local signs, laboratory tests and, if necessary, smears or cultures of ear secretions to accurately determine the type of pathogen and the severity of the disease. During the treatment of ear itch, it is best to avoid wearing headphones to keep the ear clean and ventilated and to speed up the improvement of the condition.
