Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per your complain in case if after thorough examination at the ear clinic as well as by physician if there is nothing present inside the ear then there is a possibility that you are having a psychological feeling of having something stuck in the ear..
You should avoid putting ear buds and tweezers deep in the ear as it can lead to damage to ear drum and can be very harmful as you can loose hearing as well as other complications..
There is a possibility that due to continuous attempt in trying to remove the cotton there is injury to ear canal and due to inflammation there can be feeling of something inside the ears as well as there can be infection..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
