Ear blockage? I have a dried wax in my right ear, and I can't hear that well from it. Any way to get it out? ?

I don't want to miss work and go to the doctor if I don't have to. Whatever it is moves around and my hearing changes.

This is so gross. Thanks for helping.
Share and Enjoy!

There is a procedure called Ear Candling that can be done to rid your ears of the wax. You can buy them and do it yourself (with some help of course)

Sometimes I put Hydrogen Peroxide on a Q-tip and gently put it in my
ear and that seems to help. Don't push the Q-tip too far, you could
damage your eardrum. Just dab it in a little. You may hear a bubbling
sound, that's the peroxide dissolving the ear wax.
Also, it sounds like you may have gotten water in that ear. A good
way to get rid of that is to lie on your side of the affected ear, overnight
preferably. Usually it will drain and your hearing will return to normal.
I've had this happen. Sometimes it took a few days.
Good luck!

you can buy a kit at a pharmacy called debrox.. at first you use an oil base medication to soften the wax, then you have an irrigation set to flush out your ear. this should remove the wax or debris that is in there

I had the same problem some weeks ago and the solution is going to hospital and get your ear uncovered by introducing warm water into your ear canal with the help of an special syringe, the hospital tech will get water with some force to uncover your ear.

try "heavy Mineral Oil USP"
something similar happened to my friend and she couldn't hear very well because wax was stuck in her ears. The doc said to put like a drop in the ear that had the wax like 3 times a week. Like bend your head and put the oil in with a dropper, wait till it goes into your ear and then straighten your head. slowly, very slowly, it will get better, but if you want fast relief you should ask your doctor. always safer. or a pharmacist would know, when you buy the Mineral Oil.

You can try some ear oil, available at most health food stores.

Hydrogen Peroxide may help, but can leave your ear canal irritated.

Whatever you do, DON'T STICK ANYTHING IN THERE!
