Yes. Most drugstores sell a kit with a peroxide/glycerin solution and a bulb that you use over the course of a few days. Has been effective for me. Some people produce excessive ear wax that can be a problem if not removed. I know from experience that if it builds up to the point where a doctor has to remove it that the procedure can be painful.

I have tried this and it really works. they are called ear candles. they are long wax covered cones that you stick in your ear and light. the smoke gently creates a suction and pulls the wax up into the cone. you can actually see the ear wax in the cone once you are done. I found mine at a natural health food store or an herb store. they work really well and only for a few bucks. good luck.

It's possible your ear is clogged with ear wax.  The doctor can flush it out, or you can buy an ear bulb and flush it out yourself with warm water.  Don't use anything else, as the pressure could be too high.  You could damage your ear drum.  The best way to do it is to get in the shower and flush it and flush it with the ear bulb.  Sometimes it takes several times to unclog it.  Once you get it unclogged, then just every time you take a shower, let the water from the regular showerhead flush it out.  If you do that, you may never have a problem again.

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!

Just do this . . . place your head on a pillow or something so you are sideways and relaxed. Then have someone pour in enough hydrogen peroxide to fill your ear canal. Pull your ear out some to be sure the fluid gets all the way in. Lay like that for a few minutes and then use a bulb syringe to squirt some warm water in. Don't force it, just squirt it. It might take a couple of times, but I'm positive a big hard chunk will come out.

You can buy these things called "ear candles" from a health food store. Try those, they are very scary but they work awesome. It is like a long tobe you put in your ear and light on fire. The fire sucks the wax and stuff out. Make sure you get directions....

Moisture in the ear can promote ear infections. Clean water from a shower is usually okay, but beware of bath or pool water.\n\nSo where is an ear, nose, and throat doctor pointing out the perils of having squeaky clean ear canals? Ear wax is there for a reason, and if you keep your ears constantly clean of it you will open yourself up to all sorts of ear infections and such. Not to mention the dangers of jamming things in your ears to clean it out... there is a reason Q-Tips say "Do not insert into ear canal" on the package...

this might sound pretty gross...how about when you have a bunged up ear and then a bit of excavating reveals a big glob of wax. that is pleasure...

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)

put a lttle bit of rubbing alcohol in your ears it helps

For a quick home remedy mix a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water. Half and half. Preferably warm, not hot or cold, water. Drop a few drops in and let it stand for about 15 minutes, then flush the ear out with just warm water while keeping your head tipped so it will drain out. Do this a couple times a day. Also, get to the store and get yourself an earwax removal kit. Do NOT use straight Hydrogen Peroxide, it will break down the lining that protects the ear. Good luck....

It is not recommended to use a Q-tip (or anything else for that matter) to remove the wax from the ear canal because:\n\n1. There is a risk of damaging the skin of the ear canal, which in turn can predispose the ear canal to infections.\n\n2. The wax maintains an acidic pH and thereby prevents bacterial growth, besides also preventing the inner parts of the ear from bacteria/dust etc. due to its sticky nature.\n\n3. If one pokes the Q-tip too deep, there is always the chance of damaging the tympanic membrane (the ear drum).

the water that gets trapped in your ear is really bad.. normally your ear works its magic and the water drips out, but if you cant get it out use an alcohol solution that will rinse the ear and then evaporate\n\nNEVER use a Qtip.. cause you can seriously hurt your inner ear

if your using qtips cool it, your ear needs some wax in it for protection

Put some peroxide on a Q-tip and put it in your ear and just kinda let it set there. That should do the trick and clean out any bacteria that may be in there.

There are several over the counter remedies, one by Murine and one called Debrox.  There are also generic equivalents.  Peroxide can also work.  The problem with all of these is that they are water based, not oil based.  Since wax is also oil based, using warm oil can sometimes be more effective.\n\nIf ear wax is a chronic, reoccurring problem, try using a few drops of oil daily to prevent buildup (any oil will work, most people use mineral oil or sweet oil).\n\nIf the wax is impacted, the only good way to remove it is to have your doctor remove it either by flushing with warm water or with a "cerumen scoop" (ear-wax picker).
