Chronic itching in the ears can be due to seborrheic dermatitis of the ear canal skin. You need to apply steroid antifungal creams in the ear canal using ear buds. Anti Histamine medicines for few days may also be necessary to reduce itching
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
