How do you deal with ear wax clogging up your ear canal, Jow Forums?

this but without the hydrogen peroxide - shit's too brutal. There are dedicated ear cleaning solutions in the pharmacy, for, like, 10 bucks a spray bottle.

based

mix of glycerin and hydrogen peroxide, works like a beauty

and then, eat it

Unironically, this is what I was taught and it works every time
1. Pour cooking oil into your both of your ears until it's full and cover it with tissue.
2. Let the oil soak and soften the earwax for an hour or so.
3. Get a syringe and fill it with water and blast that shit out. You might have to do it a couple of times if its massive.
4. Go back to listening to kpop.

This, or use an over-the-counter solution like Debrox. If your shit is seriously impacted, then you need to visit an ENT doctor to have it removed. You should never poke around in your own ear, just use solutions and flush with warm water.

Soap and water

Fucking incels

Nothing. You guys have health issues

There's an old optician in town who has a little side-work in doing ear shit, so I go there like once a year and he has a little look around in there with his fancy camera thing, pulls some crap out, gives it a rinse and i'm good to go. He only charges a fiver.

>I get a screwdriver and I dig that shit out.
This
I use q-tips most of the time
but every so often a phillips head screwdriver can scrape the inside walls of the ear canal, flaking off crufts of dead skin and some dryer and chunkier pieces.
I will follow up with a q-tip and if there are little spots of blood on it, I know I really did a good job.

>fold corner over slightly
>roll between fingers again
>push into ear
>twist and push at the same time to get depth, then just twist to avoid impacting while still catching wax

Works better and safer than q-tips, costs virtually nothing.

>oil
>in ears
no thank you, also why?

i was using the same ear plugs to sleep for a few weeks and they must have gotten a build up of bacteria in them because i got an ear infection.
Puss came out and it must have moistened my ear wax because it all clumped over my eardrum and blocked my hearing.
ended up needing to get them cleaned out after using ear cleaner solution for a few days to properly moisten the wax then use antibiotics. reason for the blog is this happened to me 6 weeks ago

>How do you deal with ear wax clogging up your ear canal
>removing the ear wax
enjoy your ear infection

a usb otoscope and an earpick

this

qtips are actually just pushing that shit deeper, dont use them

there are also like miniature spoons to clean it, which seems to be common in eastern countries

water and your pinky

>qtips are actually just pushing that shit deeper
Only if you do it wrong

Unironically paperclip
Its like a hook that pulls the shit out, tip is a round 90degree bent

I had to get this done once because my left ear got completely clogged. Apparently I produce way more wax than normal. The chunk he came out was bigger than a quarter. Said he had never seen anything like it. Felt like I had super hearing out of that ear for a day after that.

I have the same problem.
I had no idea ears can be so sensitive, amazing.

I went the doctor's for a clogged ear (as in I couldn't hear anything from that ear due to the wax clogging the canal) once, and they used one of these: amazon.com/gp/product/B005M2B5P0/. Bought one myself (at their recommendation) and use it when I get a clogged ear once in a while. Just fill it half and half with water and peroxide, stick the pointy end in your ear up to the base and start blasting it in. After a little while the wax just falls out. It's the most uncomfortable thing in the world, but it works terrifically and it's Doctor Approved™.

go to house-doctor
let the assistant flush my ears
go home with the ability to hear a million extra sounds

had also my ears cleaned after I worked in a carpentry over the summer. the hearing was really amplified for about 1-2 days. I remember the worst sound was the clanking of keys - it hurt for whatever reason

I just use them to clean the outer edges. Also, I don't have that kind of wax buildup like in the op. Then again, I've never had my ears flushed out or anything.

I just clean them, and every year or so I will get them cleaned professionally, all the wax sucked out. It actually feels really good not gonna lie.

Since we're talking ears, is it bad that I can pop my ears by muscle movement? I used to the thing where you hold your nose and blow to pop your ears, but I think I did that too much as a kid and ever since then, I can just pop my ears (there's really no more popping sensation though) through my throat muscles.

>How do you deal with ear wax clogging up your ear canal

Have sex

I had one that was completely dicked. tried like hell with peroxide, water, ect.
Ended up taking a sinle insulated wire from a cat5e, folding it over tightly, and inserting it deeply into my ear till it felt like I was scraping against the drum itself. Extremely painful process but it got about three decent sized chunks out (after taking a mountain out with the peroxide) It was enough to make the ear work halfway, so I left it and it fixed itself in a couple of days.

They use a spoon because they have dry earwax. Its actually a biological difference between east asians and others.

This. Doctor taught me this when I got my ears flushed out. They even sell special oil for this in pharmacies, but cooking oil will do.

I live in central europe so i just go to the otologist, hand over my elektronische Gesundheitskarte and get my ears cleaned

Oil kills an insect that a kid may have in his EAC.
t. Studied ENT

It depends on your type of earwax (genetically determined) and how you use the Q-Tip. Some people are prone to build-up, even when they are doing everything the doctor consensus recommends. My earwax is the humid type, low production. I insert the Q-Tip every two days, always in spinning motion, and I really run them against the lateral walls on my ear canal. Spinning motion, always. My mom did this all her life. I did this all my life. Our ears are clean as fuck. We never had a problem. An ENT checked up my ears earlier this year: 100% clean and problem free. Q-Tips might be a bad idea for some people, but they work for me.

Earwax build-up in controlled amounts are actually good, because they protect against ear infections and repels insects. That's their purpose. It's not waste. It's protection.

I just clean my ears because it feels good, but I have no need for it. The build-up hits a natural limit and, just like skin oil, it achieves a balance and never accumulates more than what is genetically determined for you.

When it comes to earwax, it's all about not having shit genetics and knowing how to use the tool correctly.

Tfw no caring foxgirl to clean my ears

does wax buildup cause hearing loss? I think my hearing is fine, but I wonder if it could be better if I got my ears cleaned out. I've never had my ears drained and I wear audio earbuds over 12 hours a day.

Just go to the doctor and they blast that shit out with water. I tried doing it myself once with a high-power shower head but it doesn't work as well

I don't, because it doesn't. Healthy ears don't get clogged up, ear wax is slowly and naturally pushed outside and no significant amount should build up. As long as you wash/clean around the outside part of your ear canal you should be fine.

This, use the tiny spoons made for the job, OP. Work great, inexpensive and reusable, good for keeping clean and for when you’ve let it go for too long (unclogging)

I had this problem ONCE as a child. Since then I develop a OCD that I must clean my ear everyday or so.

I went to the doctor a few times about it, but last time I got a clog I bought Debrox from WalMart and the first two applications didn't help so on the third I really stuck the nozzle way in there and it cleared it right up.

this and hot water while in the shower

Mine just falls out on its own

>Be me, have to clear water out of my ears and keep them clean or else they start itching REALLY bad
>Use Q-tips and 91% Isopropyl and never really have any problems
>Don't use Q-Tips bro! It's bad for you lol
>Ok, worth a try I guess

>2 months later, ears constantly itching and feel uncomfortable as fuck
>Go to the EN&T doctor to see what is wrong because they said Q-Tips bad
>He looks in ear and then immediately proceeds to clean it out with Isoprpyl and a long ass Q-tip
>Feels fine immediately afterward
>Ask him why
>"You have to keep the water out of your ears or you're gonna get an infection, the wax in your ears get's soft when it gets wet and harbors bacteria"
>Pay 250 fucking dollars for the privilege of being told that all of you stupid fucks are talking out of your ass and that people only say that shit about Q-tips to prevent mouth breathing mongoloids from fucking up their ears with them

You fuckers are stupid

You don't need something this aggressive, a salt warm water solution dissolves earwax just fine.

>Pay 250 dollarz
Lmao. I never use q tips but i DO go there every year or so to have the cute nurse peg my ear with that syringe

You shouldn't be "dealing" with it medically unless you have a legitimate condition like allergies overproducing in all the nasal cavities or some unlucky freak earwax production.
The ears should "clean themselves" enough if you shower every day, the hot humid moisture lets the wax break up and get moved around.

Cleaning like with qtips are often used improperly to get deep wax, which just pushes the stuff the qtip can't attract into a compacted wax deep in the ear. A common cause of pain/aches. Using pointed objects to try and dig out deep wax compacts is the dumbest thing you can ever do to yourself, hello Tinitus hello ear damage.

Jesus Christ, man. Don't do that.

buy an ear syringe online and use it once a month

I don't have this problem.
All I do is "clean" it with my fingers sometimes, don't even need q-tips.

Do you lick them afterwards?
pls respond

NEVER use a qtip. buy a normal syringe (preferably a really big one) and blast it with lukewarm water once a week or so. they also have cleaning spray stuff for ears in pharmacies.

No, I usually wash it in the sink but I've also wiped it on my jeans sometimes.

Lick them please. Record it if possible.

Not him, but same situation, and yes. Also I think my ears are getting cleaned when I take a bath and hot water enters them.

How the FUCK is this even a problem for so many ITT?
What the absolute fuck is wrong with you?

Not everyone has perfect genetics where they don't have to worry about this stuff

thought I was the only one to twist napkins and twirl

My doctor says to pour a bit of olive oil into the ear canal, tilt your head gently and hold it there for some 10 mins. Then go take a hot shower.

enjoy your ear infections

qtips are not for inserting you dumb fuck.
qtips is only for the outer part of ears.

I was at the end mate. Couldn't stand it anymore. Had it that way for three days and after the 2nd day the pain started.

They pick at their ears then wonder why they have more ear wax. G confirmed full of dumb fucks

This

don't worry, you'll get it too when you get older. doesn't start to get bad until age 25+

Ear cleaning is free at the doctors. Free health insurance.

I can hear cleanly up to 18khz, I’ve not cleaned my ears in 25 years. Can I get a better response potentially from medically cleaning my ears out?

ear drops to soften the wax down, then a syringe with water in it and lightly blast the wax out, had it done before when i got a major blockage, afterwards it was like i had HD hearing.

This. Insert cotton swab into the inner ear slowly until you hear the cotton brushing your ear drum. On the way in do your best not to touch the ear canal to avoid pushing wax inward. Now back out a little and grip the swab with your thumb and index finger against your ear so that it can't be pushed in any deeper. Make small sweeping movements around and outward. Continue motion while moving out through the ear canal.
Can't believe I had to type that out for someone.

I use my car key to gently scrap the inner ear. I don't push it it, I just side scrap and lean sideways so debris would fall out.

>but
Don't be a retard.

>You will never experience this.

This is what happen when you fall for the in-ear monitor meme

he progbably used those fuckers at least 1+ hour per day

Ill put a bar of soap in my ear. You fucking idiot

I have one of those. it's super comfy when you use warm water.

House-doctor will just tell you it isn't lupus.

Underrated post. Stimulation of the ear increases wax production so dont touch it too often. This includes cleaning and just sratching your ear because it feels nice

Tight headphones pressing my ears seemed to push wax together; never cleaned my ears with this kind of thing before but when the canals got blocked it was like a disgusting miracle. It's a gross but good procedure, just don't use crazy pressure or a tiny straw. Also warm water is a must as cold water can be dizzying / disorienting.

feels good to not have shit genes
i love way it feels when i clean my ears with a q-tip.

DON'T USE QTIPS

I used qtips and got an ear infection, and it somehow caused other issues as well. My life has been constant pain of some type for the past 4 months.

If your ears are really clogged it's like the difference between wearing earmuffs and not.

Well they can’t be that clogged because my hearing is great but could I potentially get a wider range from cleaning?

This is such a white or nigger problem.

It's also a spic and sandnigger problem

fuck you guys. I have now blasted my ears with this and can't hear shit on my left ear

Why would you spray windex in your ear

Lay on one ear and put some olive oil in the other.
Wait about 30 minutes for the hard wax to dissolve in the liquid oil.
Then switch to the other ear so the first ear drains while you dissolve the wax in the other ear.

90 minutes later and your ears have never felt this clean.

As opposed to?
