Warm up a little extra virgin olive oil in the microwave, test it to make sure it is just warm (do not burn yourself) put a few drops in your ear, hold it for like a minute, then tip your head the other way so the oil can run out.
Not a Dr. Try at your own risk, not liable for you doing this.

Well, my ENT doctor recommended a very good product. You can make it yourself or buy it over the counter.
Buy a small package of pickling salt.
Pour about 1/5 of it into a gallon bottle of distilled water.
Then add about teaspoon or more of baking soda. Get a nose syringe and squirt up your nose. It doesn't taste great but it really works. It will clear out your sinuses like nothing else.
Over the counter, you can buy something called "Simply Saline." Don't get any of the other products that state they are saline drops. Just use this one because of the way the tube is designed.
Irrigate your nostrils daily and your ear will probably clear up. If not, you may have to go to the doctor because you may have otitis media (medical term for this ailment) and will need antibiotics to cure it. I use Simply Saline now rather than make the mix.
Best of health to you.

Nasal irrigation. Take a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda and mix it with 8 oz of warm water. If you can get a 60 cc catheter syringe or a nehti pot, you'll gently pour water into one nare and it will come out the other. Tilt your head over a sink and keep you mouth open. Do this daily for a few day.

Got a little wax build-up. It is annoying! :-) Try alittle,...((( alittle, meaning,....4 eye drops full))) of very warm oil. Vegetable oil. Sounds odd, I know,...but, it works. And lay down the blocked ear UP facing the ceiling. IF it doesn't work, you may HAVE to see a doctor, the ball of wax may not dissolve and pain will soon follow. Repeat same thing with perioxide, not warmed up though. LOL GOOD LUCK hun!

Go to the doctor but in the mean time try SWEET OIL. You put a few drops in your ear wit for it to dry a little and the oil will soften the tissue that is causing distress

Ear candling is great. It's safe and painless and pulls all the gunk from deep in your ear up to the outer ear where it can be cleaned out. It's very relaxing to have done and very effective!
