Note to self: clean your ears more often. Went swimming and was deaf for a week in my right ear until I fixed it. Again went swimming, so I'm now deaf in the left ear. Fuck, lol.

I've fixed it already. I used mainly peroxide and olive oil to soften it up, and then a plastic syringe to water jet it until some came loose. Took a bit of time, but it worked. 路 9 months ago
If you have a shower with a removable head, use that to hose out your ears after letting hydrogen peroxide sit for 15 minutes. You may need to repeat. You need the pressure of flowing water to flush your ears. They used to do it the same way at Urgent Care in the 1990s using a hand operated pump. Was like firing a Super Soaker into your ears to break up and flood the wax out after it softens. 路 9 months ago
I think Hydrogen Peroxide will melt the wax in your ear, but don't quote me on this, I'm not a doctor, and it's unclear if it irritates your skin and eardrum or not, but I've done it myself just fine. You can go the safer (and likely more effective) route and see if there's earwax remover drops at the store. If this doesn't solve it, then it's probably more serious and you should tell a doctor that you already tried earwax remover and it didn't work. 路 9 months ago
