Ear Itching

What causes such intense ear itching? I'll be sitting here like normal, then suddenly an ear itch I can barely stand. So I need to scratch it equally intensely.

I'm afraid I might be screwing up my ears with all the scratching and attention to it. As to what happens when you screw up your ears, I don't know. I still hear really well.

I was at a place and someone was recommending some kind of ear cleaning with a wax stick or something. That sounded a little too drastic to me. I looked it up on the internet and plenty of sites said it didn't really do any good.

I just wish I knew the source of the sudden itching. Like going from 0 to 60 mph in two seconds.
