use a cotton ball, soak it with H202 (hydrogen pyroxide), put a few drops into the affected ear, and let it soak for 3-5 minutes, you should hear a bubbling sound. then take a shower and let some of the water enter your ear, and make sure you shake it out. but under no circumstances should you put a Q-tip in your ear, this is a sure way to puncture your eardrum

My husband has problems with excessive ear wax. To help maintain this, we do Ear Candling on a fairly regular basis. These Ear Candles can be purchased at a local health food store, or on various websites.
It seems crazy, but it really works. The first time he really knew he had a problem, he woke up deaf and we had an ER visit to find out that it was ear wax plugging his ears closed.
A relative mentioned this technique and we've been using it ever since for maintainance. I was so skeptical when they brought it up and would never have believed it worked until I saw it myself.

I know this sounds weird, but have you ever heard of ear candles? It will remove some major wax from your ears. You light the candle and let it burn down you will feel the wax moving in your ear as it is sucked up into the candle. It is really pretty cool. Beleive it or not it really works

Yes ,I learned this and it has worked for me. In the past, I used to have to have someone in the medical profession remove it for me, due to ear aches or just plain needing it.
SOLUTION: After each shower you take use a q-tip right afterwords, fluff up the ends first and make sure you don't puncture your ear drum. Since doing this I haven't had any ear wax problems or build up in the last 18 years.

A syringe of warm clean water can help. Get someone to empty that into your waxed ears. I have the same problem but I usually have my ears cleared by my GP.

i have used peroxide drops, however the finest for me is to take a warm water bath, on my decrease back, allowing my head to soak contained in the nice and comfortable water. this melts and softens the wax so as that a Q-tip or hairpin can pull it out. now nobody can attempt this. some human beings get "swimmer's ear" from immersing their heads in water. It relies upon on the structure of the ear canal. frequently, that's safer to save your ears dry.

It is best to go to a dr... they can flush out your ears... I had it done a couple of years ago and my hearing was aLOT better afterwards... I asked the dr about the kits you can buy at Wal-mart and he said they just don't work.

go to a health supplement store that sells vitamins and such. They sell ear candles, and can instruct you on how to use them. Also it's fun.
