Ear infections are actually very painful. If you don't have any pain, then it sounds like you've just got a build up of wax. Have you had the cold or flu recently, as there is often a build up after that? You could try one of the do-it-yourself ear rinses from the drug store, but if there is pain, then you really need to see a doc. You can also try heating up some olive oil in a teaspoon and putting a few drops in your ear. If it is a plug of wax, then that should loosen it.

Go to the doctor and get them flushed out. I bought a home kit and it didn't work. It is fairly painless, and it helps A LOT! All they do, is put some drops in your ears to loosen the ear wax and then they stick a needless seringe in your ear and squirt water in it. Is alittle uncomfortable, but you will feel 10 times better when your done! You will be amazed at what comes out and how big it is! Gross I know, but some people don't lose ear wax naturally. Mine compacts. DON'T USE Q-TIPS, it makes it worse! Go to the doctor.

possibly your sinuses are congested on there way to infected witch will lead. to ear infection. go to a hippie or smoke shop and buy some ear candles stick em in your ear light the other end and you wouldn't believe how much crap comes out of your ears into the tube this will most likely work for you since you cannot afford a doc

You may not be able to afford not to go. Allergic infections, sinus infections can get into the eyes,ears, throat and create problems, and over the counter drugs can help. But it could be something serious, should be checked. You don't know of any free clinics or church run hospitals that might help?

Do you have allergies? I agree with some of the other answers here, sounds like you're congested. If you can't afford a doctor, go to your local health food store and ask them what would be best to boost your immune system. Tell them what's going on and they can help you with something herbal.

not really. you need to visit a doctor to see what is wrong. hearing is precious. you don't want to risk it. maybe it's just an infection that can be cured with antibiotics---maybe it isn't. just be be on the safe side-visit a doctor. you'be be glad u did.

It's probably congestion from an infection. Some antibiotics would work best for you.
