You have an ear infection. Go to the doctor and get some medicine for it. The same thing happend to me at christmas break

[QUOTE=DrKinkyKinkles;23500823]I had both my ears get incredibly clogged before. The best option is to just go to the doctor. They squirt it all out in 10-15 minutes and it feels great. If you do it at home then get one of these- [IMG]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21xwXbzWBIL._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/IMG] and a cup of lukewarm water. Squirt it in until you feel better. Apparently hot water makes you pass out.[/QUOTE] It makes sense because when you yawn, the ears are used as a cooling mechanism for the brain, so when you place hot fluids inside you can probably pass out I jus followed logic on this one, but sounds logical.

My dad woke up one morning and was suddenly deaf in one ear. Go to the doctor and don't fuck with it, might need to get the wax drained. Might be an ear infection, those suck.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;23493849]It's no hassle at all; it literally takes only a few seconds for them to syringe out your ear. It'll be far cleaner than it ever has been in your life, as well.[/QUOTE] For about a day you can hear EVERYTHING

if you had gone to the doctor right away instead of trying those things, you'd be fine by now

Just go the doctor, the procedure only takes a few minutes if you don't have to wait.

I'll assume you've been to the doctor by now.

Go to a doctor.

I really hate how the feeling of something is clogging your ear. Drives me crazy.

Take a shower, tip head to side so ear faces shower head, ensure the water is warm and let it fill up your ear canal. Swish it about a bit and then get a ear-bud (q-tip to Americans) and gently roll it in your ear going as deep as you feel comfortable with.

Wait a few days, eventually it will crawl out. [editline]08:17PM[/editline] Well, a little bit at least, you'll have to pull it out the rest of the way. Hope you're not arachnophobic.

I use these to unblock everything: [img]http://www.1000steine.com/brickset/images/0821-1.jpg[/img]

Nothing happened with the Olive Oil, but okay, doctor Facepunch wins. Today at 2pm I'm going to the doctors to get my ear syringed, I'll report back after it (roughly 2 and a half hours from now)

Maybe you should shower more. Most people who have wax buildup this bad in their ear never shower. The little bits of soap and water that get in there when you shower prevent this from happening.

Because he NEVER showered.

Good idea, doctors know best. Don't listen to the ear candeling crap, it doesn't so a damn thing.

OKAY! I'm back, success! Music once again sounds amazing. When I got there the nurse said I wouldn't be able to have it syringed because I haven't had it syringed in the past, so she said she needed the confirmation of a doctor, luckily there was one free. It wasn't really a 'syringe' more of a pump pumping warm water in short blasts into my ear, it wasn't the most comfortable thing ever as I'd irritated the inside of my ear desperately trying to unblock it. But it's all good now! I'm gunna listen to a shitload of music to make up for the past week.

Told you you should go instead of trying to get it out yourself.

Yeah, I have to admit that I'm sitting here now completely amazed by the sound the keyboard is making from me typing this.

Putting a Qtip in your ear makes it worse. You just pushed the blockage further in.
