How do you get a "bubble" out of your ear?

Question

I've had this so to speak "bubble" in my ear for about 3 days. I have tried a few things. If you have ANY idea how to get rid of it please share! It makes it very hard for me to hear things sometimes with "bubble" in my ear. I haven't been on a plane or swimming so I don't know how I could have gotten it. PLEASE HELP!

Answer 1

It would seem you have a build of ear wax and have entrapped water beyond it, possibly as a result of bathing or swimming.

With an eyedropper, put several drops of "warm" (not hot) hydrogen peroxide in the affected ear. You will love the snap crackle and pop. After that, lay your head on it's side with the affected ear up for a few minutes. After that, reverse your head and allow the peroxide to run out onto a towel or paper.

Note also the colour of the discharge. If it is yelowish or brownish, some of the wax has been removed. If there is any sign of blood you must see an ear specialist right away.

Do not use over-the-counter ear wax removal kits without the advice of a doctor as they often can create a worse situation. Do not use q-tips for cleaning inside the ear canal.

Meanwhile, whether the hydrogen peroxide resolved or did not resolve the situation, you still should see an ear specialist and have the ear canal cleaned professionally. If that ear wax becomes real hard it can be very painful and difficult even for an ear specialist to remove.

Do not use hydrogen peroxide often...use just for an emergency situation as a temporary fix until you have professional help a short time after.

Since you have not been swimming this is a possible sign of allergies or a potential inner ear infection. If it doesn't clear up in a few days then you need to see an ear, nose and throat Dr for an evaluation. I had the same thing going on last weekend and it almost drove me nuts. Turned out I was having an allergic reaction to some strawberries I had eaten and the inner ear fluid passed after two days. You might try taking a Sudafed and see if that helps if you are not sensitive to this drug and don't have high blood pressure. Also might try taking an antihistamine like Benadryl or Claritin. Don't take both drugs at the same time. good luck

had this many times first to ease the pain use a hair blow dryer and blow warm or hot air in your ear . that is straight from the doctors book of home remedies. next or before whatever put a couple of drops of baby oil in your ear. if there is wax in there that will make it soft . just baby oil for a few days and use the hair dryer to make it feel better.
you may also take a decongestant i suggest one that treats allergies as well just in case. just tell the pharmacist all the meds you take and your basic medical history first but it extremely rare not to be able to take a decongestant allergy med.
i could be a doctor when it comes to this as for some reason i have had this in my left ear many many times i checked all of this out with the doctors. oh at the pharmacy they sell some ear drops that are of the same brand as some cream for cuts i cant remember the name ask for them they help with the infection and they are very safe too . the druggist will know what ones i am talking about yellow box often in first aid section.

I think you should see doctor. This could be the first sign of ear infection in which case medicine should be prescribed. Shower would also put water in your ear even if you have not been swimming. Also Wearing headphones for just an hour will increase the bacteria in your ear by 700 times.

Answer 5

Prolonged exposure to noise can damage the Cochlea and cause tinnitus. So if you cannot simply stay away from all that noise, at least get some

protection. Use an ear plug when you can.


Head injury - Take care of your head because a severe blow or a slight bang could make you hear the tinnitus noises. The head is of course one of the

most sensitive parts of the human body. But some people cannot live without an injury, such as those who are into sports - boxers and football players.

That's why athletes are more prone to a tinnitus attack. Even a dental surgery could make you hear them.

Answer 7

Limit or avoid exposure to the noises you suspect are causing your tinnitus. If you cannot avoid loud noises, wear protective earplugs or earmuffs.
Try to ignore the sound by directing your attention to other things.
Practice relaxation techniques, such as biofeedback, meditation, or yoga. Stress and fatigue seem to make tinnitus worse. Read more:

I heard ringing in my ears too, like louder hearing test. It could be tinnitus. Gets louder over time. Use this to reduce the ringing.

Answer 10

you probably got it while bathing. If it was caused by water, we used to put rubbing alcohol in our ears let it run in and then tilt our heads quickly to drain it out. If you don't feel comfortable with alcohol you can do the same thing with water
