How do you safely remove ear wax that has built up?

Answer 1

Soak a Q tip in Hydrogen Peroxide, you may hear popping sounds, but thats just ear wax melting, yes, Hydrogen Peroxide melts ear wax, then take a clean one, and just wipe it out clean. I've done it a million times, and I still have my hearing and have NO ear problems trust....

Answer 2

Try an over the counter remedy like earex, or Otex. Both require you to put a few drops into the affected ear and the solution softens ear wax and it will gradually come out. The only other way to do it is to get your ears syringed by your doctor.....don't try and do it yourself as if you get the pressure wrong, you could do more damage than good.

Answer 3

This is so cool my mom did it to my sister when we were kids. It doesn't sound safe, but no one got hurt at my house. OK you need clothe that is soak in wax and dried. About 12" x 12". Make a cone out of it, like and ice cream cone. Now this is the wierd part. Put the smaller tip in the ear then Light the top corner of it with a match and let it burn but not to much it is soooooooo weird how it just sucks the wax right out of the ear. Of course you need two people to do this!!!

Answer 4

You take a syringe, or a dropper, example, infant's tylenol dropper, & You put peroxide in it. You put 1 - 2 drops in your ear @ a time, then U bend your head , putting the side that's clogged up, up, & repeat 3-5 times @ a time. You can repeat this every day, but it usually only takes 1 day @ 2-3 times. The peroxide will NOT hurt you & it eats away @ the wax. I hope that helped! :)

Answer 5

There are ear wax compounds available at your drug store. I had it done in my doctor's office. He used a water jet, the same used for cleaning teeth (Ithink it was called "Oraljet"). A little vaseline in the ear canal after will keep the wax from accumulating.

Answer 6

You can use a q-tip to clean around the ear canal. But everyday when (if) you wash your face, you should be cleaning out your ear with warm water with your finger inside the towel.

Answer 7

warm water can help remove ear wax.

Answer 8

pour some warm, not hot, oil into your ear. let it sit. use a ball syringe (from drug store) and squirt it out. It can be gross but it's oh so good to hear again.

Answer 9

Soften it with warm water and gently use a Qtip. If that doesn't do it see a doctor to get it done.

Answer 10

put oil in your ear, after an hour or so, use a rubber ball squeezer and flush, this can be repeated
