Earwax stuck... Cant hear outta my left ear.... help

[MK3Brent]

I tried the ear candle thing too... never worked really.

 

[WhtMa71]

Happened to me once. I went to the doctor and they put some ear wax softener in my ear and then used a big metal syringe to flush it out. A big ball of wax came out...ew

Pour hydrogen peroxide in your ear, and hold it in there for a few minutes.

This.

 

[phoenix6]

This.

Did not work.

 

[CTsupra]

plunger?

 

[phoenix6]

plunger?

Maybe.

Im really starting to think Ive given myself swimmers ear in the process of cleaning this wax, convinced fluid is stuck up in there... shit.

Dude the fact that it was a sudden change i think you might have damaged your ear w/ the q tip. See a doctor asap. if you dont have insurance go to the ER You dont want that to end up living w/ permanant damage.

if you have fluid in there get a tissue paper and roll the corner till its kinda pointy and guide it to the bottom part of your ear drum. i used to do this all the time after swim class. why dont you have someone look in your ear to see whats in there.

lots of people don't know how to use q-tips...to many people go as deep as possible with them. Not saying your one of them phoenix.

IT WORKED!!!!!!! I Can hear again pretty damn well!!

I think my eardrum is irritated, but most of my hearing was instantly back!


Thank you! thank you thank you

i was just going to suggest shaving the side of your head and oil it up and use a plunger:sarcasm:

Q tips are a bad idea. All they do is push things further into the ear against your ear drum. In the meantime keep putting ear drops in your ear and you might get lucky and break up the goo. Stop using the Q-tips all your doing is packing the stuff in there. It can only come out one way. Good luck

Some people make the damdest threads..................:biglaugh:

 

[flight doc89]

good job! *cue the whistles and marching bands and kazoos*

for those talking about damaging the ear, I was told that it is *extremely* painful if you tear your eardrum, but i don't know that for myself (im only in first semester of nursing school)

 

[EdT.Mk3]

Oh wow, this thread was just kinda... interesting.

I shouldn't say it's nasty, cause I get sand stuck up in there for days at a time.

It is.

Peroxide has always softened up ear wax for me nicely.

That said, Q-tips are designed to clean the ear out - not to be shoved into the canal

 

[RazoE]

Its only your fault, because it even says on the box not to insert into the ear canal..


that said, we ALL use q-tips that way..
