Put five drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and wait until it stops fizzing (you may have to do it twice) and then put a Qtip dipped in rubbing alcohol to get rid of the broken up residue.

Yeah definitely see a doctor in case there is an infection.  If there is wax blocking it it may soften with some warm olive oil...obviously make sure its not too hot!  And you will probably have to get someone to help you put it into ur ear!\n\nHope ur feeling better soon!

Warm xtra virgin olive oil pour a little bit in your ear and block it with cotton wool it will soften the ear wax so it will come out or you could get your ears syringed at the doctors.

do a half peroxide half isopropyl alcohol mixture... then put a little in one of the caps and dump it in each of your ears.. leave it there for a sec then dump it out by turning your head over... peroxide kills germs... alcohol will evaporate the water.

Earwax, also known by the medical term cerumen, is a yellowish, waxy substance secreted in the ear canal of humans and many other mammals. It plays a vital role in the human ear canal, assisting in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some protection from bacteria, fungus, and insects. A comprehensive review of the physiology and pathophysiology of cerumen can be found in Roeser and Ballachanda [1]. Excess or impacted cerumen can press against the eardrum and/or occlude the external auditory canal and impair hearing.

When I was younger I heard a tale of the best way to remove ear wax...  It involves a rubber hammer, a trashy girl, and your exposed genitals..  Thats all i can tell you...

Please do not put a q-tip in your son's ear, it will only cram it in there worse.  You can use peroxide, or they sell earwax remover at the drugstore.  Follow the directions on the box.\nYour son just probably makes excessive earwax as my son does.  Periodically use the stuff on his ears to keep them cleaned out.\n\nBTW, ear candles do not work.  Try burning one without putting it up to your ear.  The same junk is found in it, it comes from the candle.  They're crap.

If none of the above helps me, I take a small piece of a tissue, roll it so that it is like a thick needle (or a thin Q-tips..) and carefully put it into my ear. Be careful and very cautious as you could hurt yourself as it's quite sharp. But this usually sucks out the liquid well. You may have to repeat it two or three times depending on the amount.\nBut again, be very careful and gentle not to hurt your eardrum!!!

You can use hydrogen peroxide to clean it out, but it does dry up the ear canal. I've tried this and it works for me though. :)\n    You can also go to an Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist for the doctor to either suck out the wax with their equipment, or use an ear currette to scoop out the wax. You may want to tell him your problem and the surgery so he will know what to do to help you with the wax problem. Good luck. :)

You may be pushing the Q Tip in too far.  It is dangerous to use stuff like that to clear your ears with, as if you do go in too far you can perforate/break your eardrum.  You could even push the wax in further causing more problems.  Believe me, as someone who is hard of hearing, you don't want to go down that road...it's no joke truly.\n\nIf you need to loosen earwax use warm olive oil and if that doesn't work, arrange to have your ears syringed by a doctor or nurse.  If you are still having problems now, then I truly think you should seek medical advice.\n\nPlease take care...you cannot replace your hearing. (hearing aids are no substitute for natural hearing)

I had ear surgery 5 years ago to repair my ear drum. My doctor recommends hydrogen peroxide every so often to keep both ears clean. Just put a few drops in (sounds like a steak sizzling on the grill),let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm faucet water. Works great!!

Living Under, \nThe Dr. told my husband, mix =1/2 vinegar and 1/2 (70%) isopropyl alcohol <which is regular alcohol>, put in your ear and let set for 5 minutes, then drain it out and wipe them clean. \n\n The Dr. said it's the same stuff that's in most 'ear flush medicine'. It even cleans out hardened ear wax!\n\n We've been doing it for 5 years now. It works great.\nGood Luck.

Some people have soft earwax, while others have hard, firm earwax. It can get irritating if it accumulates in the ear. You may hear a ringing sound, feel pressure in the ear, or have decreased hearing. I suggest you put 3 drops of baby or mineral oil in the affected ear while lying sideways (the affected ear is facing upwards). Rub the oil in the ear for 2-3 mins. then stand up. Let the oil flow out of the ear. Do this for a week. This will soften the earwax and it will move out slowly. Avoid using Q-tips as they will push the earwax further inside the ear. If the earwax is persistent, you may have to go to a doctor who will flush out the earwax using water and a tube that he inserts into the ear.

Go to the Dr and have your ear flushed out.  You will be surprised at the gunk that will come out.  Or, you can buy a product at the pharmacy.  It certainly is annoying.  Whatever you do, don't stick anything in your ear, as once it is blocked like that, it is pretty difficult to unblock it.
