Brief Answer: Do you have nasal disease.? Detailed Answer: Hello, Due you have nasal allergies ? or nasal discharge ,sneezing etc or you have acidity and heart burn ? The ear itching could be because of these problems if there is no wax in the ears. There is a tube connecting the middle part of the ear to the back of nose , if there is any problem around it ,ie edema or swelling , like because of the nasal disease or acid reflux from the stomach , then there will not be pressure equalisation in the middle part of ear and there can be itching etc. YOu can get done Pure tone audiometry (hearing test) to see for the hearing status and Impedance audiometry (Tympanometry) for middle part of ear whether there is fluid collection or not. In addition if you have nasal disease or acid reflux disease then you should consult you ENT doctor for its management. Hormonal changes can cause dryness in the body , but you mentioned to had only Hysterectomy and not Oophorectomy, ie your ovaries are intact and they might be producing the necessary hormones. In doubt do reply.

Brief Answer: continue treatment with ENT specialist. Detailed Answer: Hello, Do continue treatment with ENT specialist. you must consult for the hearing status also whether the hearing loss is due to nerve problem or fluid in the ears. do get done tympanometry. I would also start you on domperidone along with proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole or omeprazole for acid reflux. This may not be available over the counter. In addition, I also suggest nasal CT scan to exclude nasal disease. Then either nasal sprays or surgical correction of any anatomic problem may be required. Do you snore at night ? If yes then do consult for it also; as people with nasal problems do snore and so there is increased chances of acid reflux.All are related. Regards
