Annoying ear wax, please help?!
Question: Annoying ear wax, please help.?
I know it's gross, but I get a tremendous amount of ear wax in my ear. I know it's common for the ears to produce this stuff. I try cleaning them out with hydrogen peroxide and have tried candles but nothing seems to work. I can't keep going to the doctors to get them cleaned out because it's expensive and don't have insurance. I'm not consistent with cleaning my ears out though, but even if I was I don't think it will help anymore. Is there a type of surgery I can have done to at least minimize some production of ear wax.? This has caused my hearing to decrease some, and I think has caused me to have trouble with singing.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
When you're in the shower, put your ear against the stream of hot water. This will soften the wax, and even tho you're not supposed to...gently swab with a q-tip.Health Question & Answer
Twice a day just take a q-tip, moisten one side with warm water to soften the ear wax, then with the other side clean it all out.Health Question & Answer
They make at-home cleaning kits that are the same thing you get at the doctor.Health Question & Answer
you can get a syringe, fill it up with a 50/50 mix of warm water and hydrogen peroxide and clean them out by squirting this solution right into your ear canal and then letting the warm solution melt the wax out. I do this about once a week. I have abnormally small ear canals so I have to do this or I get bad build up. I would talk to you dr and have them show you how so you don't hurt your drum or anything. That's how I learned. I was too going in several time to have them "un plug'" my ears and they actually gave me the syringe and showed me what to do. JUST ASK!Health Question & Answer
