Well, the best way is to go to a dr. They have special instruments for that.

However, you can try a little warm water to loosen it up. (Tilt your head a bit when you're in the shower.) If you get too much water in your ear, put a drop of rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide in it to flush it out.

If possible, have a removal process done at your doctors. They have the instruments to look deep into your ears and find out if you actually do have earwax or if it is another problem. My father once had an earwig in his ear and as a child I got part of a fuschia flower stuck in mine! I've heard of moths getting stuck also.
Seriously, you can try an over the counter medicine, but follow the directions carefully. - Oh, and don't pour hydrogine peroxide in your ear. I did and got so dizzy I almost passed out!! I am in my 40's and have never had deep ear wax.

Hi there,
I have had this problem a few times and this is what has worked for me. Warm olive oil, warm now not boiling, put a small bottle of olive oil into a pan of boiling water to heat up the oil, similar to how you warm up a babys bottle. Have a friend to pour some oil on a teaspoon, you lie on your side and have your friend pour the oil into your ear. Put some cotton wool in your ear and lie for about 30 minutes. Do this as often as you can over a number of days and it should soften the wax. Then use ear candling sticks and hey presto you will remove that hard wax.

get some ear drops from the pharmacy. I've used some in the past - about 4-6 drops in the ear & it fizzes up as it eats away the wax. 30 seconds or so later, tilt your head over & it runs out.

Pretty easy & pretty effective. If that doesn't fix the problem, your doctor can always "power-wash your ears with a hot water solution of something.

But whatever you do, do NOT try poking anything in your ears, to get the wax out.

There are both prescription and over-the-counter treatments for deep ear wax. They ususally involve the application of drops into the ear then using a tool like a syringe, or gravity, to extract the wax. I would definitely consult a doctor before putting anything foreign into your ear that may cause damage.

I've never tried them, but I've been told GNC (General Nutrition Centers) have things called ear candles that will do the job.

They have an over the counter thing with drops and a syringe bulb. It works pretty well.

Some people swear by a process called candling.

Google it.

They have over-the-counter products. If they don't work, I'd see an ear doctor.
