how to unclog your ears?

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).

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.

tilt your head to one side and drop a few drops of water in the ear with the water.  Once you feel it, tilt your head to the other side and then jump up and down until the water comes out.

DO NOT USE A Q-TIP!!!!  If you have something stuck in your ear the q-tip may push it down further.  Try rinsing your ears out with 1/2 hydrogen peroxide and 1/2 warm water, not hot.  Then immediately after, because it will bubble in your ears, get in the shower and let the water rinse out your ear canals.  If that doesn't help, there are ear drops at the pharmacy (over the counter) that are supposed to loosen clogged ear wax so you can rinse it out.  But this takes a few days.  Best thing to do is to see your doctor and have him/her look inside your ear canals.  If they are clogged, he/she can clean them out.  There could be another problem going on.  This is your hearing so its best not to mess around with it.

You might think i am crazy, but i work at a hospital and we have a lot of people who can not afford medications. we tell them to use one part vinegar, one part peroxide, and one part water. mix and use a eye dropper to put a drop or two in your ear. it will naturally help the ear wax come out of your ear and help dry up any fluid build  up you may have. worth a shot anyways.

1.  Try blow drying the ear gently.  It could be trapped water.\n\nor\n\n2.  Try a drop of rubbing alcohol in the ear a couple of times a day and give it a few days to work\n\nIf all else fails, it could be that soft wax has blocked the ear canal and it needs to be irrigated.  You can buy flush kits at the pharmacy, but it may be better to see your doctor

Well first your ear uses some of that wax as protection....cleaning the outside of the ear with a q-tip is fine, but the furthur you penetrate into the ear you run the risk of damaging the ear-drum which can cause hearing loss.  You really only need to do the q-tip thing about once a week....then just clean your ears in the shower with a washcloth if you are that concerned about earwax build-up

There are several ways, but first You should go to a Chemist and get some drops that soften the earwax as it can be quite hard. You can go to your local GP after a few days of this being used and have your ears syringed. You can also do it naturally with ear candles which are available from most health food shops. The larger ones are better.These are called hopi ear candles. There are also people out there that do ear candling for you, these are better candles and it works really well.

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.

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.

Steps \nTake a small bowl, and add some warm water. \nAdd an equal or slightly lesser amount of Hydrogen Peroxide. \nFill the ear syringe with this mixture. \nLie on your side, and insert a small amount of the mixture into the affected ear with the syringe. (unaffected side to the 'down side') \nRemain lying on your side for 5 to 15 minutes. You should be able to hear the Hydrogen Peroxide bubbling in your ear. \nWhen the bubbling sound stops, place the second small bowl under your ear, and turn your head to drain the ear into the bowl. \nRefill the syringe, and with the bowl under your ear, squirt the mixture into your ear with a slight amount of pressure. You should be able to feel the pressure from the liquid, but don't squeeze the syringe so hard that it causes pain. Repeat this step until you are out of the water/peroxide mixture. \n\n\n\nTips \nHeating the peroxide may help. Fill a sink with hot water, and place the bottle of peroxide in the hot water for a few minutes before performing preocedure. \nIt is best NOT to use a 'waterpic', or other mechanized water jet. If you cannot hear due to ear clog out of one or the other ear, it is best to see your health professional (a doctor, Nurse Practitioner or Physicians Assistant) at your local health clinic. \nWarnings \nDon't do this if you have experienced recent head trauma or air travel. \nThis procedure is intended to remove natural ear wax from ears. If there is a foreign object obstructing an ear, consult a doctor. \nPlacing cotton in your ear while lying on your side may help to prevent spills. (Never force the cotton into the ear canal, just 'snug' it into the outer ear opening, and be sure to lay with the ear being treated on the UP side.) \nDO NOT try this if there is any opening in the eardrum. (ie. ruptured eardrum, or tubes) \nMake sure when using the syringe to insert the mixture, there is enough room around the tip of the syringe for air to escape from your ear. \nDO NOT try to attach any kind of 'needled dispenser' to the syringe! At no point should any part of the syringe enter the ear. \nFor your comfort, make sure the water is warm as cold water will cause a violent reaction. Squirting cold water in the ear is how comatose victims are tested for consciousness. \nThings You'll Need \n2 Small bowls (1 to contain the cleaning solution and fill the syringe the other to catch the drained solution.) \nHydrogen Peroxide \nWater \nEar Syringe (Can be purchased at local pharmacy) \nCotton

If you go to a place that sells hunting/shooting supplies, you can get earplugs that go inside the ears.  They are designed for use while shooting (which can be quite loud!) so they should filter out a lot of noise.
