Hi. I have a little ear wax problem. Any ideas what's up?


Question:
Ok I've had this problem for a couple months now. One day I felt as though I couldn't hear out of my right ear. I fixed the problem with the Murine ear method. But now I have to clean out my right ear like every 4 days! And it smells horribly bad to boot. I seem to get all of it out, only to have to clean it out again in like 4 days. You wouldn't believe the crap I've cleaned out of my right ear. It's becoming annoying. An ideas what to do? Thanks.

Answers:
sounds like you have an infection, although some people have alot of wax..since its only been happening for the last four months it sounds as though you may need to go to the Dr and have them take a look. since it smells too it is a definite sign of an infection.
Consult a qualified ENT specialist. Don't try to maneuver any thing at your own please could be dangerous
Try this out for one week: one drop of alcohol in your ear canal a day,only one drop,see if that helps.
Do you use any IEMs (In ear microphones) when listening to music? If you do, that blocks wax pretty bad unfortunately. To combat it, just get more loose fitting IEMs (vmoda vibes), and wash your ear out with just warm water every few days. If you're not wearing IEMs, then the previous answers about seeing someone is probably a good idea.
You will need another person to help you with this. Buy some Deborox earwax removal aid drops.

You lay down. Have the person squeeze 2 drops in one ear, stict a cotton ball in that ear. Then put 2 drops into the other ear and stick a cotton ball into ear. Wait for 15-30 minutes. Tehn get a cup of warm water and a small syringe (5-10cc). Suck up the warm water, remove one cotton and squeeze water into that ear, let it drain out into another bowl. Repeat up to 10 times until you feel clean. Be careful not to stick the tip of the syringe too far into the ear canal. Repeat on the other side. This should work well. Repeat entire procedure again once a month if needed otherwise, everyother month.
