Earwax buildup?? or something.. I can't hear out'a my left ear.. does anyone know how to fix this??


Question:
I was cleaning out my ears yesterday with Q-tips.. and I stuck one too far into my left ear.. I think that's what caused this anyway.

But yeah, like.. I can hardly hear out'a my left ear now. Everything sounds muffled.. like I have headphones on, but only on the left ear.. and there's a loud ringing in my ear.

Only the left ear, though.. the right ear is fine... does anyone have any idea for how to fix this.. how I can hear out'a my ear again?

Answers:
You may have pushed some wax against the eardrum. I don't reccomend trying to fix this at home. If you can't afford a visit to a doctor, try a free clinic. If you feel really brave, cut the end off of a Qtip, and try to work the wax out that way. You will be able to get more precision without the cotton on the end of it.
i think you should either go to or call the doctor. You're only supposed to use a q-tip on the outside of your ear and u'r never supposed to stick it into u'r ear canal. So you may be able to fix this problem easily with your doctor or you may've even done permanent damage to that ear.

Just call u'r doc and see what he says!!
sounds to me as if you have impacted wax against the ear drum - the only safe way to get it out is to see your doctor and have him wash it out. Do not try this yourself - you could severely damage your ear and hearing.

You might not want to wait too long. Wax will continue to accumulate against the ear drum.
Usually people let peroxide sit in their ear for a few minutes to fix this (it dissolves the wax). If this doesn't work, see a doctor, because depending on how far you put the Q-tip in, you may have damaged your eardrum.
i have the perfect answer......... to a doctor
