Go to an EENT doc and let him irrigate your ear.You would not believe what will come out of there.You may be able to get your family doc to do it.

Try using the ear wax remover liquid but put more in your ear and lay on your other side for longer than the directions say. Then when you go to rinse it out, use you inner wrist to get the temperature as hot as you can stand it without burning. If that doesn't work, go to the dr. and they can get it out. But, I agree with the person that said you might have an ear infection. I had to go to the dr. to get them to remove a piece of wax and it hurt. Then I passed out when I stood up because the pressure was released off my inner ear. So, be careful and sometimes you can do make it worse by doing too much.

by going to a massage therapist and getting an ear candled. also you can try a hair dryer. you may have an inner ear infection and it feels like there is fluid or wax in your ear but you could have bacteria and need antibiotics...you could try garlic oil..many people believe garlic is a natural antibiotic too...personally I would drink a lot of fluids, use the hair dryer and if this does not work, go to the doctor. do not use Q tips because they pack the wax on the sides of the ear canal and can pucture your ear drum easily.
many times olive oil can be used to soften up the wax and lubricate the ear drum. just put a drop in your ear at night when you go to bed and then put a cooton ball in to keep the oil from running onto your pillow.

Most doctor's offices will do an ear wash for you. Usually the MA or nurse can do it...you don't have to actually see the doctor for that. They squirt warm water into your ear with a special tool and eventually, the wax will fall out into the bucket.

Your local pharmacy should sell a tool which looks like a little balloon w/ a hose coming out. It is used to suck in water and then when squeezed, sort of "pressure washes" the ear, forcing the blocakge out. If this doesn't work, you should contatc your primary physician and he can use a more advanced syringe-like tool which forces out water at a higher pressure than any tool u can easily find. Of course, this tool coul also probably be found on ebay...

i had this problem once and i had to go to the doctor to get excess ear wax removed to unclog my ears. i guess it's easier for someone else to do it because we can't see what were doing and if were actually making it worse. on another note, q-tips make it worse

have you tried ear candles? It is very controversial, so make sure you know what you're doing... I've provided a few links, one is neutral and the other opposes them.

Ear candles! They work great and are rather relaxing to experience.
