Has anyone used a super soaker to remove ear wax?

I would not recommend it, it could damage your ears.  Many stores have drops that you can put in your ears and use an ear syringe to remove the soften wax.\n\nYou can also try a couple of drops of olive oil (but don’t use too much) to soften the wax.

You can buy two kinds of ear plug. One is a silicon that molds to your ear. My favorite. They also have some plastic ones. You can just shake the water out of your ears when you get out of the water. If it is still there you could put drops in. One brand is Swimmers Ear. You can also do it for free. One is with vinegar. The other is with rubbing alcohol, but this can dry out our ear. Go with a couple of drops of vinegar to break the surface tension of the water.

Try finding someone that does "Ear Candling"\n\nIts a hollow bees wax candle that gets placed in your ear canal the other end is then lit on fire........this creates a vacuum effect (it DOES NOT hurt, i get it done all the time) \nWhat it does is pull out all the old ear wax, old and new infection, helps eliminate: "sinus infections", colds, headaches/migraines, sore throats.....and basically any form of  "head/ear/throat" infections or problems.\nThis has been practised for 1000's of years......the Egyptians used hollowed our reeds.\nDo the research......you'll love it once you get it done (I promise)\n\nStay away from antibiotics...all they do is kill all bacteria in your body (good and bad) it does help for a while.....but all it does is mask what is REALLY causing the problem. It treats the symptoms NOT the problem.\nStart by going to a health food store or a naturalpath and ask for  "acidophilus " all it does is promote the growth of the GOOD bacteria in your body making it stronger then the bad.....it doesnt kill anything just makes your immune system stronger. When your immune system is strong you can fight off infections much easier and faster!!!\nAlso:\nAll acidophilus products are not created equal. \nYou can pay less, but you won’t get more.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

After getting out of a warm shower clean out your ears with a q-tip this will soften the wax and it will clean out easier. I also go to the doctor about every 4-6 months to get my ears cleaned out really well by them. They squirt water into my ears and break up any of the wax that I couldn't get.

Dip Q-tips in rubbing alcohol and clean out your ears with them. The reason why you do this is because you need to break the surface tension of the water stuck in your ears, and rubbing alcohol contains properties capable of doing so.

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.

well, if she threw water all over you (damps?), I'd suggest buying the supersoaker 5000 and getting a little payback

Fill a super soaker with gasoline and once you get it spraying light a match in the stream. Don't do this, though, because it's terribly dangerous!

Most likely, you've just pushed the wax further in......which is why you should never put a q-tip in your ear in the first place, but anyway........\n\nYou've pushed the wax up against the eardrum which is why sound is muffled. The wax may disperse on it's own, but to help it along you could try putting some warm olive oil into the ear and plugging it with a little cotton wool each night at bed time. This will help to soften the wax and it will come out easier. This will also help if you end up having to have the wax syringed out of your ear, as t has to be soft for this to work effectively.\n\nUnless you have significant pain in your ear, you don't need to go rushing to a doctor. Just use the warm olive oil for a few days, and run the hot shower in your ear as well, and things should clear up. If they don't, make an appointment with the nurse at your doctors surgery and she will be able to syringe the wax out.\n\nAnd in the future, DON'T STICK Q TIPS IN YOUR EARS!!!!!

Try getting these drops called "Swimmer's Ear." You just put them in and they dry up all the excess water in your ears.

U can put a small amount of peroxide in your ear or get a product called Swimmer's Ear.

You weren't very specific but if the problem is excess ear wax, I have a dandy remedy.  You need to buy an inexpensive squeeze bulb thing called an ear syringe and some hydrogen peroxide, which is cheap.  Lie on your side on the bathroom floor and dribble a little hydrogen peroxide into your ear.  It will bubble and make a noise like ginger ale in your ear.  After a few minutes, fill the ear syringe with warm water.  Put your head over the bathtub and squirt the warm water in your ear.  If nothing happens, repeat the whole process with the hydrogen peroxide followed by squirting warm water in your ear.  You may have to repeat this a few times, but when you finally succeed, a big, ugly lump of ear wax will come out.  Turn over and do the other ear.

Remedies\nFolk\n\nAlcohol, rubbing Rubbing alcohol not only kills germs but causes water trapped in the ear to evaporate. See the remedies below under vinegar. \n\nApple cider vinegar If you notice water stopping up your ears, put three or four drops, diluted in equal parts with water or alcohol, in your ear after showering or swimming. This is a good preventive measure against future infection.\n\nHair dryer Use the warm (never hot!) setting of your hair dryer and place it about an arm's length from the ear and slowly move it back and forth. Test it on your wrist after it has been running a while before using it on the ear. The warm air will evaporate any trapped water.\n\nVinegar (distilled white) Put 2-3 drops of full strength white vinegar into the ear every two hours. This will be effective against any bacterial or fungal infection.\n\n• Another similar remedy is to make a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and warm water and apply four drops in the ear three times a day for three days. However, the water can harbor bacteria and fungus. One of the other two vinegar remedies is preferred. Pull on the earlobe to straighten out the ear canal. This will get the drops to their destination. The alcohol may sting, but this needs to be done.\n\n• A third vinegar remedy is to make a 50/50 mixture using equal parts of rubbing alcohol and distilled white vinegar. Put the mixture in a clean eyedropper bottle. The alcohol will kill germs and evaporate any water that's trapped in the ear. Use several drops after swimming. Tilt your head and pull your earlobe to get the mixture into the ear canal. This will help cure swimmer's ear or prevent it from happening in the first place. See the caution warning below.\n\nThese remedies can be mixed up in a clean eye dropper bottle.

two things i have tried that worked are:  1.  try getting a cotton ball soaked in alcohol, let a couple of drops go in the ear.  this should evaporate the water causing your swimmers ear to go away.  another trick is, get some warm water in a little cup, pour a couple of drops in the ear, then quickly lay your head to the other side, and let the water come out.  one of the two things should work.  if not, you may have an infection and need to see an MD.  good luck!

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!!!
