blocked ear help

[stevie-p]

i woke up this morning with a blocked ear:roll:
anybody no how to unblock them without buying stuff? lol

[Spudly]

Try a shower and let the water run into your ear or aim one of the jets of water on a low setting into your ear, i had this once before and its a horrible feeling, woke up like it and ended up going to the doctors after a day or two of it not clearing and it took six goes at syringing (basically they fire a jet of warm water into your ear to try and dislodge it) and out popped a big ol plug of earwax:eek:

[Southie]

Get some warm olive oil in your ear, this will help the wax breakdown. If it still hasn't cleared then get to your doctors and they will give you antibiotics and probably some bicarbonate eardrops before getting you to go back in for your ears syrienged.

Poke it out from the other side with a skewer?

eh what did you say lol

[stevie-p]

ive heard of the olive oil and heard the doctors can give you stuff to help it i always seem to get it in my left ear quite often so i may have to pick something up at the doctors for it.

[Jack]

Be very very careful about poking things in your ears, also goes for water. Filling your ear with water can make it worse

I tryed to unblocked one of mine before and endded up with an ear infection and no hearing (in my left ear) for a few.
I would go get some earx mate.

You can buy otex which you can use for about a week but it didn't work for me. Oh when your ear does clear it's like you have surround sound turned on lol

try a jet wash or compressor. should work, if thats to powerful try a bike pump ;)

[kelbelle]

I have heard olive oil is good but never used it, I always use Otex and that seems to work for me. Make sure you don't go anywhere straight after because it runs out of your ear a bit lol

[General Baxter]

Get some ear candles, not used them myself but I have been told you can hear a pin drop once you have used one.

Lol, not actually true, you'll never get through, swine flu'ers blocking the lines! lol

Its true, I used to suffer from Blocked Ear Syndrome and tried manys a cure, none of which work and so I have perminant hearing loss in my right ear, which is nice on occations.

Your best bet is using a vacume cleaner. HEar me out, hold it to your ear and hit the oppisate side of your head until it unblocks.

i bought some ear wax remover and it worked just pretty painfull now thanks all
