Ear cleaning

Stuff the doctors. If you want an idiotproof way to clean your ears, apart from visiting an ENT Specialist, pour a few drops of 10% Hydrogen Peroxide into the ear and when all the Fizzing stops, wipe clean with a tissue or cotton bud.

This thing works the bomb - tryed Waxol,Hydrogen peroxide,& a variety of other oil based tricks last time it happened earlier in the year & nothing moved the wax enough to give me my hearing back,ended up having to go to the doc to get it suctioned.
This time same deal with the soft approach & then i found mention of this gizmo......WaterPik... 3-4 refills of warm water & hearing is BACK...

Those of you that have served in the military will know about a "pull-through" ... used to clean rifle barrels ... that's the best way to clean ears.

It works, as proved by the fact that all SA politicians use that method
 
I used to frequently have blocked ears and I was at the doctor more than a few times to have it syringed, but I've found that if you tilt your head sideways in the shower and let warm water run into it for a few minutes it clears out well. Just make sure to wipe out your ears with a bit of cotton afterwards.

Jetwashing my ears with a water pick… umm, no thanks. :eek:
 
Warm saltwater + 60ml syringe jet in and voila. I do it every month. Have chronic wax buildup. The firat time I did it I was deaf in my left ear for 3 years before I bothered to do anything about it... got 3 pieces of solid wax out that time. About the size of raisins... since then just little shards of wax.
 
2 methods - suck or blow

Suck - if you have a pool, swim around underwater for about 15 minutes ( while you are under you may as well multi-task by scrubbing the walls of the pool)
Then, after 15 minutes, grab your kreepy-krauly and attach to the ear. Allow her to do the work. As a precaution plug your other ear with something as you do not want to create a cross current.

Blow - Fire hose. A hose is simple enough for anyone to use. Attach to ear, use full power. However, one needs to block the other ear (see precaution above)

Dont simply discard your wax. I prefer to create a set of candles for the dinner table. Given pride of place, they will remain a talking point of your envious dinner guests for many years to come.

LOL - would really be a win win subject for a 1st date dinner conversation don't you think...Humberto you listening?
 
best way is to put a tiny bit of olive oil in your ear every day, it loosens up the wax and it comes out naturally, what I do is take an old empty ear drop bottle and fill it up with olive oil and use that.

I've never had anything in my ears, so do you recommend I use Extra Virgin Olive Oil in them?
 
Ask the pharmacist for Sweet Oil. Add a few drops every evening for a week. It softens the wax and it falls out of your ear.
