Itchy ear

Within minutes after putting my HA in my ear, my ear canal starts to itch. If I leave the aid out this doesn't happen. Since I can't scratch it, it drives me crazy. Has anybody had experience with this or know how to prevent it?
I use a product called eargene. A product that is made to sooth and calm the ear canals. I use it very very sparingly by one drop on my finger and then rubbing it all over the custom ear mold parts that touch the inside of my ear canal. It was worse with ear domes but the custom molds with vents and a little eargene once a week work very well for me.
Good luck and don't give up on the HA. After YOU and YOUR ears adjust you will be a new person with happy friends who don't have to repeat themselves all the time.
