try a few drops of hydrogen peroxide for about 10 minutes with your head tilted in each ear.  wait until the popping and fizzing stops.  do this every hour for about 8 hours and if this doesn't work, go see a doc.

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.

You might be developing an infection.\n\nUse peroxide for three minutes in each ear then clean gently but not deeply with Q-tips. Then, use rubbing alcohol in each ear and tip to allow the excess to come out. The alcohol will dry up any liquid in the outer ear. If you have fluid in the inner ear, you will need to go to the doctors.\n\nIf what I have directed does not work, go to the doctors in a day or so if you don't want to be in pain.\n\nMy daughter had this problem for many many years and we always did this before seeking further help if needed.\n\nGood Luck

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.

Yes it does and it leads to much more serious problems. Go and get your ears "flushed" out! It doesn't hurt and WOW, how you will hear afterwards.This is not uncommon, so don't be embarrassed.Your body is just making too much wax. You will probably have to have this "flushing" done throughout your life,so get used to it. A wax build-up, left unattended, will cause your "balance" to be off. You could start to stumble,trip,appear clumsy, because your balance is off when you have excessive ear wax. Go get it done to day! and find out how Noise this world really is.. Good Luck...

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...

I had this problem for quite awhile and used Q-tips to help. I worked in a hospital and went to the ER. and asked one of the doctors to check it out for me. She said my ear canal was "clean as a whistle". The problem?-too LITTLE ear wax from overuse of the Q-tips. I stopped using them and the problem resolved.

Earwax is made in the outer ear canal. This is the area between the fleshy part of the ear on the outside of your head (the part you can see) and the middle ear. The skin in the outer ear canal has special glands that produce earwax. The fancy name for this waxy stuff is cerumen (say: suh-roo-mun). \n\nAfter the wax is produced, it slowly makes its way through the outer ear canal to the opening of the ear. Then it either falls out or is removed when you wash. In most people, the outer ear canal makes earwax all the time, so the canal always has enough wax in it. \n\nSo why do we need wax? Earwax has two important jobs. First, it contains special chemicals that fight off infections that could hurt the skin inside the ear canal. Second, it acts as a shield between the outside world and the eardrum. When dust, dirt, and other things enter your ear, the earwax traps them so they can't travel any further. \n\nIf you want to get rid of earwax, pay close attention to what to do: nothing! Most kids don't need to do anything special to remove earwax. If you wash your hair regularly, this is enough to keep your ears clean. Don't use a cotton swab, your finger, or anything else to poke around inside your ear to remove earwax. Your ear canal and eardrum are very delicate, and you may hurt them or cause bleeding by trying to get rid of wax this way. Poking around in your ear can also push and pack the wax in further. \n\nIn some kids, one or both ear canals make extra earwax. If this sounds like you, tell an adult. Doctors often can prescribe special medicines that are placed in the ear to get rid of extra wax.

I had that happen and the med tech packed it with gauze until I was able to get into the doctor. They told me NOT to introduce anything into it - no peroxide or anything but wait to be seen. The specialist told me that the secretions in your ears naturally kill bacteria and you don;t want to mess with throwing off the balance by killing it with alcohol or peroxide.\n\nI remember it hurt like the dickens...I had a concussion on top of it and vertigo...hope you have some good pain killers and a soft heating pad! Be well!

Usually this clears up in a maximum of 10 days.  If it's been that long, I would call your doctor to let him know what's going on, and if need be, see an otolaryngologist.  You can also make your own preventive eardrops by mixing equal parts white vinegar and rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol. The vinegar restores the natural acidity of the ear canal, making it less susceptible to infection while the alcohol dries out the ear. Use three to four drops in each ear

Clean your ears with Q-Tips you can also pour a little bit of peroxide in your ear to help it.
