What's the easiest way to remove excess earwax?!


Question: Never put any object in your ear smaller than your elbow! Specifically never probe with things like cotton buds. Fill the ear with almond oil several times a day. Alternatively fill it only at night and stop the oil from escaping with a cotton wool plug. If this fails after 3-4 days get your practice nurse to arrange a washout, continue with the oil while you are waiting to keep the wax soft, this makes it easier to wash out.

Probably to go to the doctors.

a bic pen lid. I find the long thin bit is awesome for really scraping your ear out. i try and have a clear out once a week, sometimes it bleeds, sometimes it doesnt, depends if I get lucky. heres a tip: never eat or taste your ear wax - it tastes pretty rank bro.

get your woman to lick them out, its also a good sign of love too, lol,

if it's a lot of wax, buy this solution at the drugstore...it's called "ear wax build-up remover"....not sure of the brand name but there are a couple. it comes with a rubber dropper little thing...you squeeze a few drops into your ear and it dislodges everything in there and then the wax will fall out in bits when you sleep or you can try and get at it with a tissue or q-tip.

Start putting warm olive oil into your ear, as often as poss. This will soften the wax so that in a few days you can go to the nurse/doc surgery and get it syringed out.
Don't use a pen lid!

Unless you don't mind risking damaging your eardrum.

Soften the ear wax first with warm olive oil in the ear with a piece of cotton wool. Once softened, use ear-buds to clean out the loose wax. If you have some stubborn hard wax, repeat the application more than once.......quite a cheaper way than buying the bottles of ear wax softener from the chemist.

warm olive oil in your ears helps to clean em, the doctor will syringe it out for you if its well bad, it feels really nice though. Dont prod things in your ears, however tempting it is to see the gross slimey stuff that comes out hahaaha

There is an ear wax kit you can buy at the drug store, it's called Debrox. The doctor recommends it.

Dont wax your ears..........lol

I found this by accident - I was listening to wild rock music with earphones and my ears got hot. Wow! I thought and then realised the wax was coming out of my ears. SO - lie on the bed for half hour on one side and warm up the ear so the warmth and gravity makes the wax move. Then pour it in a big bowl I suppose...NO! If you're worried take a sample to your doctor.

flush them out with an ear wax remover.

Let an Earwig loose on it,lol.
"Yuk!"

Love.Jo.xx
