  1. Put 3 or 4 drops of hydrogen peroxide in your ear and wait about 10 minutes.  Let it drain.  Do this about once a week, more will dry your ears out and make them itch worse.  Don't use q-tips as this will just push the wax further in.  If this doesn't help go to a doctor  for a professional cleaning and/or to get checked for allergies.


  2. You can buy a ear syringe at almost any store in the pharmacy section. It will explain how to use it in the packaging. I have used the ear candles and found them to work really well.

    gram

  3. qtips

  4. get proxide.


  5. If your ears are unbearably itchy, then there is probably more going on than a little excess earwax.  My advice is to go to a doctor and let them see if there is an infection in your ear canals causing you discomfort.  If it IS excess earwax, the physician will be able to safely clean it out for you.

    Side note:

    You should NEVER use a q-tip or other pointy object inside your ear canal, although it is rather tempting.  All Q-tips do is shove wax down into the deep parts of the ear canal where it can impede the natural progression of earwax from the inner to the outer ear canal.  Though you may see ear wax on the q-tip cotton, it is only a fraction of what is actually in the ear.  Also, it is very easy for the cotton to fall off of the q-tip and get lodged inside the ear canal, creating a place for infections to start.  And if that wasn't enough, one slight bump to your arm in the wrong direction could cause the q-tip to puncture your ear drum, causing hearing loss and PAIN!

  6. Dip a Q-tip in rubbing Alcohol and clen them with that, or poroxcide.  

  7. hydrogen peroxide and you should here popping

  8. No dis-respect to other people who answered, but if it is so itchy further down the ear canal, could indicate a fungal infection, which is common.As water is trapped by the natural bend in the ear canal.  I would advise you to see your Doctor to exclude this problem. If it is an infection, it is easily treated.

    I would speak to your Doctor about these home remedies before trying them. Ears are precious, so we need to care for them. Good luck!!
