Ear itching problem for the last month
Dear Doctor
I have been experiencing persistent itching in my ears for the past month. The discomfort is frequent and sometimes intense, causing irritation. The itching occurs in both ears, though it may be more noticeable in one ear than the other. The sensation usually comes and goes throughout the day, but it has been continuous over the past several weeks.
Could you please advise on possible causes and whether I should seek further treatment or if there is anything I can do to alleviate the itching .

It looks like ETD( eustachian tube dysfunction) if not because of otitis externa, you are not a diabetic right?
Also do you have any history of fungus (otomycosis)
Next Steps
Impedance audiometry can be done to check the compliance of the eustachian tube. Also oto-endoscopy to see the canal and tympanic membrane
Health Tips
You try taking steam inhalation 3 times daily. And further treatment can be decided based on the probable cause
