NFT: Unclogging Ear Advice

chewing gum, really any chewing motion, can help.

Don't wear ear plugs to bed.

You're welcome. And this time, it's free.

I have this problem a lot this time of year. It clears up on it's own eventually.

But I wouldn't be putting hydrogen peroxide in my ear.
It's hard wax that was there and the ear plugs moved that around.

I'd go to an ent dr

Feel better

If it's just wax, warm water with a bulb syringe can flush it out.

it could be something else in there. Like those little worms from Star Trek. You'll know it's them if you become highly open to suggestion and start to go mad.

and I have a mild sinus infection and aleve D unclogs everything.

a q-tip really far in your ear? maybe a pencil or something.

Its probably hard wax, and even if it isn't, he will be able to help, if it is he will unplug the ear immediately. Then if you want to do it yourself after this you can, I get the problem and I use the hydrogen peroxide with the water bulb and blast it out, I have been doing it myself for about 20 years now. But the first couple of times I went to the doctor.

I have a candle factory working in my inner ear. Always clears out. Just have to be patient and persistent. You will be shocked at the amount of shit that comes out of your ears.

Elephant Ear - Ear Washer

got it from Amazon.. first time I used it I was in shock what came out.

helped me

you have bigger issues..

your balls were blown off. ouch!

tilt your head to the right, and hop repeatedly.

Or, see a doctor. Don't fool around with ear issues.

Last year..could hardly hear.
Went to my indian dr. He told
Me to hold a big gallon bowl
As he pulls out a syringe
That holds a pint of water
And squirts in ear...wax comes
Out. .he says hearing will
Come back in 5 days. After
7 it does but ringing starts
And year later still..there..
Tinitis. Now I start getting dizzy
On and off and seems like meneirs..
Getting worse. My aunt had and what I
Read..not much they can do.Wife thinks
Allergies could be affecting it...
Anyone having tinitus or meinears

they do the lavage and I almost bust a nut. Until I see what comes out.

It would be nice to do from home, but for a minor copay, the relief is orgasmic..

But you're best bet is to go to the Dr ASAP. One of the nurses/ assistants will flush the wax out and/or manually remove the wax. Instant relief.

look into it.

+1 - however my dr brother in law thinks anyone who uses them are nuts, putting themselves at risk, and are total bullshit.

i do think they work though to clear your ear... however they work.

go to an MD who is not an ENT.

They will flush it out. You are damaging your inner ear and risking otitis media

a specialist. Any primary care doc will lavage the fuck out of your ear, a tootsie roll of wax will spill out, and you'll be good to go.

is the "in case it's something else" scenario. Last time I had an ear issue, my GP didn't know what the fuck he was looking at. Turns out it was a fungal infection, and the ENT had me putting athlete's foot medicine in there.

Also, "otolarygologist" is fun to say.

otolaryngologist

My sons ears seem to clog very easily. This is the only thing at home that worked. They used it in my son's doctor's office.

but not easy to find. It will do the trick, that's for sure

the answer is obvious...

or whatever you have in the house - let it sit for five to ten minutes. This will loosen the wax. Then use an ear syringe to flush it out.

Good luck.

for the win.

is to spend a few hours on Youtube, watching people get their ears cleaned out. They stick a tiny camera in your ear and the doctor goes to town.

It's equal parts revolting and relaxing.

It'll open your fucking ears, jackass!

I'll mildly have this happen now and then but only temporarily.. but when I was younger, I had a major clog and could barely even hear at all out of that ear. Drove me nuts so they gave me the Debrox which helped but it still wouldn't totally unclog. The Doc eventually got it all out and I couldn't believe how much fuckin wax was in there.
