Answers: i pushed it too far with q-tip, now I can't hear

Putting alcohol in the ear will dehydrate the wax leading to relief from the symptoms of ear blockage.

I do not think you can't hear because of earwax! You may have damaged your ear drum or something, I would contact a doctor!

Pour some peroxide into the ear, it will break up the wax.

go to your family doctor...trust me. it's quick and easy.

Technically, you should never put anything in your ear bigger than your elbow. and the wax in your ear protects your eardrum and stuff. but if you have to get it out, try using your finger, or i use the corner of a towel while i'm in the shower. that usually works.

First off, do not , I say again do not use a q-tip in your ear. Uhm put a bit of mineral oil in your ear and put a piece of cotton ball to keep it from leaking out, you may have to do this often, it will soften the wax, and if you cannot completely get it out you may have to go to the doctors and have him flush the wax out, but by softening it, it will be much easier.

Olive oil or veg oil will work too.

I was always told to clean mine and my kids ears out with peroxide. Just put some on a q-tip and put a couple of drops in your ears and NEVER stick anything in your ears.

It's always worked for me. If you can't work it out you may need to see an ear, nose and throat specialist.

Self Treatment For Earwax
Most cases of earwax blockage respond to home treatments used to soften wax if there is no hole in the eardrum. Patients can try placing a few drops of mineral oil, baby oil, glycerin, or commercial ear wax removal drops, such as Debrox?, Mack's? Wax AwayTM, Murine?, or Physicians' ChoiceTM in the ear. These remedies are not as strong as the prescription wax softeners but are effective for many patients. Rarely, people have allergic reactions to commercial preparations. Detergent drops such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide may also aid in the removal of wax. Patients should know that rinsing the ear canal with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) results in oxygen bubbling off and water being left behind-wet, warm ear canals make good incubators for growth of bacteria. Flushing the ear canal with rubbing alcohol displaces the water and dries the canal skin. If alcohol causes severe pain, it suggests the presence of an eardrum perforation.

In drug store they have an ear wax removal kit where you put drops in your ear and they dissolve the wax and it runs out onto a tissue when you tilt your head that way. Good luck as if this does not work you need to have your doctor do it for you. Please follow directions and be careful.

q-tips can be kinda risky. They personally don't work very well for me, so I occasionally go to the doctor's office and get them flushed. All that they do is take a giant syringe, fill it with water, and flush your ears out with the water. Simple, fast, effective, and it kind of tickles a bit. Hope I Could Help!

go to a specialist or doctor about ears

Warm up Olive Oil. Let it drip in your ear. Put cotton wool over your ear. Leave it for 15 mins. Tilt over to let the oil/wax out and don't do the q tip thing again.
Don't remove earwax it's there for a purpose.

I use a broom handle with a soft rag. I can't hear anymore, but my ears are clean.

peroxide will do the trick. teust me...my son has a problem with this all the time....it will tickle but it wont hurt you or your ear...happy hearing!...lolz

if you have a pet cat put some tuna by your ear and let the cat do the work
