Itchiness

All ear infections cause an itchy sensation in the inner ear that is difficult to reach. This explains why this symptom is common alongside other symptoms like irritability. It can be very annoying when you are feeling itchy but can’t reach and scratch. Itchiness caused by an ear infection has some distinct characteristics. For instance, you can’t pinpoint the exact location, let alone be able to scratch. The Itchiness also comes alongside other symptoms like pain in the inner ear as pressure builds up in the ear canal.
