I had no idea that Candida symptoms were ringing in the ears and itchy ears. I've had these symptoms for a long time now, I suspected it came from the Splenda I had ingested for over a year and feared I had a brain tumor because of the severe headaches I had ... but I did notice ringing after I used it (but not as bad since iodine) and the itchy ears symptom has started to reappear but I suspect because my body is cleansing itself.
I pray your hearing comes back, one piece of advice which I'm sure you already know is not to use q-tips. The "cotton" is not actually cotton and can do more damage because whatever the material is... actually tears away at the ear.
I am always a believer things can heal over time ... peace to you.
