My ears are fucked up. Playing music too loud as a teen left me with tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear. However, the worst thing about my ears is the itchiness. They itch BAD for hours whenever I'm exposed to even remotely loud noises. I've talked to doctors and they don't see anything wrong. What could this possibly be? I'm really at the end of my rope here, it's making my life SIGNIFICANTLY harder.
Hyperacusis
Hyperacusis is a rare condition that occurs when ordinary sounds cause discomfort or pain to the ears.
I'm pretty sure itching would qualify. Educate yourself a bit then see an ear, nose, throat specialist.

I've got constant tinnitus from shooting guns without hearing protection as a kid. I would pay alot of money to be able to experience silence again. Just one day would be a huge gift.
It's gotten progressively worse over the last 15 years. 2 years ago, I started having a sensation on my right ear, which is the one I perceive less tinnitus in. It feels like I have a bunch of hair in the part of the ear where you can stick your pinky, but not go any further. There is no hair there. Sometimes it feels like a slight burning, like menthol or muscle cream has been applied.
I ignore my tinnitus as much as I can, but it still effects my concentration at work and such.
No answers here, but I think I can empathize with your frustration. Good luck.
