If there is an ear wax build up?

Question

If there is an ear wax build up to the point where it's difficult to hear out of your one ear, will leave it alone fix it? I heard that if you left it alone it would move out towards to the opening of the ear, but it might take a day or two. Please, any information is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

no it doesn't move. you have to go to a doctor, and get it flushed out. easy proceedure. its worth it.

Answer 2

It may not come out by itself, and it should be removed. There are two ways... either the doctor can scrape it out, which may be umcomfortable, or he'll give you some drops to use for a week (usually water and glycerin) which will soften the wax. Then he'll take a shpritzer nad flush the loose wax out. It's kinda cool, and much easier.

You'll be surprised at how much more there is to hear.

Answer 3

A very safe, effective, and easy way to help clean out ear wax is to pour (or use a eyedropper) hydrogen peroxide into your ear. The bubbling may tickle, but it will clean some of the wax out temporarily. You'll be happy you did it!  

Answer 4

Definitely get it fixed. We thought my grandmother was going deaf, but then she went to the doctor & they cleaned her ears. She can hear fine now. They might have drops or something at the drugstore that can break up the buildup.

Answer 5

I had earwax blockage so we went to CVS and got this stuff called murine that's earwax thinner and after a few days it opened. yeah I learned the hard way don't stick q-tips into the ear canal. hope I helped.

Answer 6

Ear candeling, find a place near you that does it.  It's safe and you will feel such relief.

Answer 7

Oh no, just go to a doctor, he/she will clean your ear canal (it's pain free) and you'll be like new! If you don't have the wax removed by a professional, it will only get worse. You will be feeling dizzy and nauseous. Please go to se a doctor. The procedure takes only 5 min. and you'll be glad you had it done. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE WAX ON YOUR OWN!!! You may cause an irreversible damage to your ear...
