The Itch of the Ear

My right ear itches. It's clean. I know because I clean it at the beginning of every month. So it can't be that. I scratch it again and it still itches.

(This is not my ear)
I cough because maybe it is my throat itching going up into my ear canal; it still doesn't help.
Am I going to die? Reason I ask because I've been doing this "Living" thing for the past 25 years and I kind of like it. I would like to keep doing it on account of liking it.
