I've tried using baby oil in my left ear since for some reason I can't hardly hear a thing out of it. The inside of that ear itched so much and I guess my scratching caused a blockage. We can't find our eardrops either, a little help please? I wanna hear out of my ear again!

Try flushing your ear out with peroxide. It works great for my daughter. If that doesn't work you could speak with your doctor about getting on an allergy medicine. Lots of times people have allergies (without knowing it) and it causes fluid to build up behind the ear drum. When that happens it makes it harder for a person to hear.

Believe it or not,Dr's often times use a water pik to clean out ears in the Dr.office.
Use as warm a water as you can stand to fill the water pik.
Taking as hot of bath as you can and laying your head in the water for a bit may help soften any block you have and will help make the water pik cleaning a little easier and perhaps quicker.
Taking as hot a shower as you can stand and letting the water hit in your ear could help too.
Be sure to also have a towel to wrap around your face and down the front of yourself as this water pik treatment can get messy.
If you can not get the situation cleared up with these steps,I would suggest that you see your famly Dr who can look at your ear with his Otoscope and see just what is going on.
Nasty blockages in the ears can develop nasty smelling infection.

Go to an audiologist. They fit people with hearing aids and have all the tools to dig out extra wax. It won't hurt and usually they don't charge much. The doctor will use water and that causes all sorts of things.
