I've mainly had itchy ears but a few times I've had ear pulsing. I seldom have either symptom now. I went to a naturopath who suggested there might be certain foods or food additives that were contributing to an allergen overload in my body and producing a variety of symptoms, along with the usual itchy, watery eyes and runny nose/congestion. I went on an elimination diet and discovered wheat and a few other foods were causing me a problem. After I eliminated those foods, a lot of symptoms disappeared, including the itchy ears.
