Headphone Ear Tickle

| I find myself having to take off my headphones to scratch an itch in my ear once in a while after long usage, and I'm using open-ear phones (if that matters). Is this from the phones pushing air into my ear canal sending microscopic crap into my ear? :wtf: I've been wondering this rong rong time! |

That means that you're ears are trying to eat themselfs.
No, seriously thats really bad. Means you're playing WAY to loud. You could end up with tinniutus if you keep going. |

Your headphones should not be loud enough to vibrate anything down your ear cannal (except maybe dust). I encourage you to turn it down.
I just started using open-phones three weeks ago. Never have my ears itched.
Maybe you are allergic to the material that the ear-cups are made out of. |

Or... heat gets trapped with the headphones on, earwax melts and moves a bit, little sensative ear hairs get tickled by earwax. Or maybe a bit of ear sweat from the excess heat?
It's happened to me before.  |

| i get itchy from my cans too. i used closed headphones though, and i usually keep the levels really low. an audiologist once told me that bacteria in your ear grows a lot faster when you have earphones on, but i dont think that has anything to do with it. i have no clue... maybe our ears are just different? |

My ears get itchy from using ear-buds...you know from MP3 player..those little ones you stick in your ear...I keep the volume terribly low...and still... :(
I would presume that "desinfecting" your cans might help...although I have no clue, what you could use to do that without damaging cans or something... |

| I get this too. Earwax is likely the culprit in my opinion. |

How Long is your hair?
Mine is past my ear, and this causes my inner ear to itch from hair getting in there thanks to headphone. |

lol, they told u that? Geez, ok yea so if u have anaerobic bacteria in your ear and u seal up the ear canal, I guess technically thats possible, but thats not going to cause any problems, and u would have to wear them for at least 12 hours to get the bacteria growing faster than normal. Thats an odd statement to tell a patient, and u would also have to be immunocompromised to have problems from it. |
