Right ear is blocked, need more suggestions to unblock it. - General

[QUOTE=Col. Mandrake;23493889]Try a raising or lowering your elevation. Go somewhere closer/further from sea level.[/QUOTE] Yeah, brb going to the Himalayas. :v: Might try the height thing though... I can drive.

Plunger.

[QUOTE=Livewire123;23493884]My mother works in a chemist, maybe I could get her to bring me home a syringe and I can do it myself? If you guys haven't figured it out by now, I fucking hate the doctors.[/QUOTE] You don't have to see a doctor, you can just ring up your local surgery and make an appointment with a nurse. If you're lucky you'll get a hot one.

You're doing the nose thing wrong. Hold your nose, close your eyes and push your left ear shut then blow out so it's forced to your right ear.

[QUOTE=Valdor;23493908]I stopped hating the doctors after the age of 8. That's when I began to realize they weren't there to hurt me with needles but rather stop me from getting sick and dying.[/QUOTE] It's not that which I hate, I'm fine with having injections and everything, I just generally hate the feeling of being in there, it's a depressing place. And the doctor always seems to ask you to take your clothes off, even if you've hurt your ankle or something.

Better yet, a plumbing auger.

I'm gunna go find some Olive Oil.

[QUOTE=Livewire123;23493776]That's what my parents are suggesting, but that's a hassle to me as I'm incredibly lazy, so basically any other ideas apart from this. This idea is a last resort.[/QUOTE] Here's what I read. I'm such a lazy fuck I'm willing to risk permanent damage to my ear canal and hearing.

[QUOTE=Col. Mandrake;23493853]I don't understand how anyone can go so long without cleaning their ears. gross man.[/QUOTE] The first time I cleaned my ears was at the doctors, when I was 13. You can imagine how much shit gathered up in my ear. :v:

warm olive oil up pour in ear it should shift anything within the day unless it's really bad. tried and tested.

Go to the doctor. My ear has been clogged and it turned out I have an ear infection. Make sure this isn't the case, you may need antibiotics.

Put your thumbs on the end of your nostrels, then push air out of your nose as fast and as hard as you can, works for me.

[QUOTE=compwhizii;23493970]Go to the doctor. My ear has been clogged and it turned out I have an ear infection. Make sure this isn't the case, you may need antibiotics.[/QUOTE] In all seriousness this is the best course of action.

These are the closest things to olive oil I could find. Windolene, Fry Light, Light Soy Sauce and Lea Perrins Worcester Sauce. [IMG]http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/4796/picture102g.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Livewire123;23493991]These are the closest things to olive oil I could find. Windolene, Fry Light, Light Soy Sauce and Lea Perrins Worcester Sauce. [/QUOTE] Mix them all together and pour them in. Also, what the hell is windolene?

[QUOTE=Col. Mandrake;23494101]Mix them all together and pour them in. Also, what the hell is windolene?[/QUOTE] Fuck knows, found it at the back of a cupboard.

Pour a bit of hydrogen peroxide into your ear and let it sit there for a while.

Happened to me not long ago. Made me take antibiotics. Afterwards it kept popping every time i swallowed, so I went to a place of higher elevation and came back down and it was all good.

[QUOTE=Livewire123;23494139]Fuck knows, found it at the back of a cupboard.[/QUOTE] The windowlene should do the trick.

Go to the doctor.

Don't pour water in, it'll make it worse. Just get a ball-point pen and use it to scoop out the wax.

Dude go for the ear washing thing at the doctor, it feels soooo fucking good.

warm salty water. Dunno if it works.

Never put a Q-Tip in your ear as it can permanently damage your hearing (it even says this on the box) and it just compacts the ear wax even more.

[QUOTE=Col. Mandrake;23494101]Mix them all together and pour them in. Also, what the hell is windolene?[/QUOTE] Probably a window cleaner.

[QUOTE=Agent_Wesker;23494758]Never put a Q-Tip in your ear as it can permanently damage your hearing (it even says this on the box) and it just compacts the ear wax even more.[/QUOTE] I keep learning this the hard way :sigh:

This thread made me clean my ears.

I got a q-tip stuck in my ear, had to go to the treatment centre, lady on the reception desk asked me what was wrong in the middle of a quiet crowded waiting room, lots of people laughed. Bad times.

If you guys haven't figured it out by now, I fucking hate the doctors.[/QUOTE] Well tough luck princess. You say you have had this problem for nearly over a week now, trying to home remedy it with no real success, and you don't want to go to a professional for help? I recommend you should go and get it checked up and done with by someone who knows what they are doing. [QUOTE=Livewire123;23493899]I clean my ears out pretty much once ever 3-4 days due to me wearing headphones, but as I said, I just woke up and it was blocked, I'm only assuming it's wax.[/QUOTE] Your earwax is there to protect your ears. Appreciate it and stop cleaning it out, especially that often. If this is the case then there could be the possibility that you may have an ear infection.

I'm not joking, pour some hydrogen-peroxide down your ear, i'm serious. But don't get 100% stuff and pour it down your ear, if you have 100% just take a couple drops, then dilute it with water. I've used 3% stuff and it helps destroy the earwax.
